For The Record

A story in Tuesday's Bulletin incorrectly stated the function of the fund being investigated by the American Federation of Musicians for alleged mismanagement. The Sound Recording Special Payments Fund provides a one-year distribution of money contributed by record companies to members for session work.

It is not the union's health and retirement fund.
