    ARMENPAC CO-CHAIR ANNIE TOTAH MEETS WITH SENATOR HILLARY RODHAM
    CLINTON (D-NY) AND REP. CHRIS VAN HOLLEN (D-MD)

    Irving, TX - As part of ARMENPAC's ongoing effort to thank
    pro-Armenian supporters in Congress and to educate our elected
    officials about issues of importance to the Armenian community,
    ARMENPAC Co-Chair Annie Totah recently met with Senator Hillary Rodham
    Clinton (D-NY) and Congressman Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) at a special
    reception for Congressman Van Hollen.

    Totah thanked Senator Clinton and Congressman Van Hollen for their
    support of legislation to affirm the Armenian Genocide (S. Res. 164
    and H. Res. 193). This bipartisan, bicameral legislation was
    introduced in the Senate by Senator John Ensign (R-NV) and in the
    House by Congressmen George Radanovich (R-CA), Frank Pallone (D-NJ),
    Joe Knollenberg (R-MI) and Adam Schiff (D-CA).

    `Passage of this legislation will not only help defeat the ongoing
    Turkish campaign to deny the Armenian Genocide, but will also help
    ensure that the lessons of this terrible crime against humanity are
    used to prevent future genocides against Armenians or any other ethnic
    minority or peoples,' said ARMENPAC Co-Chair Annie Totah.

    S. Res. 164 is pending further action in the Senate Judiciary
    Committee, while H. Res. 193, having been approved by the House
    Judiciary Committee, has stalled on the House Calendar awaiting
    consideration by the full House.

    ARMENPAC is an independent, bipartisan political action committee and
    was established to shape public policy by raising awareness of and
    advocating for Armenian-American issues. ARMENPAC provides financial
    support to federal officeholders, candidates, political action
    committees and organizations that actively support issues of
    importance to Armenian-Americans.
