On Dec. 13, Ms. Harris asked how the US covered the GATT provisions on the performer's rights in sound recordings. Here is what I know:
In vol. 48, pp. 385 and ff. (1994) of BNA's Patent, Trademark & Copyright Journal, you will find a copy of the Senate Bill Implementing GATT Intellectual Property Provisions (S 2368). The issue of the performer's rights in sound recordings seems to have been delt with by creating a new civil and criminal protection against the unauthorized creation and trafficking in bootleg copies of sound recordings of a live performance.
I hope this helps!
