ARMENPAC CO-CHAIR ANNIE TOTAH BRIEFS SENATE LEADERS
Attends historic evening honoring Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD)
Irving, TX -- ARMENPAC Co-Chair Annie Totah attended a historic
evening honoring Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), Dean of the
U.S. Senate women. During the event, held at the National Aquarium in
Baltimore, Maryland, Senator Mikulski introduced Totah `as one of the
top leaders of the Armenian community. In addition to Senator
Mikulski, Totah also met with Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Maria
Cantwell (D-WA), Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), Dianne Feinstein
(D-CA), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), and Patty Murray
(D-WA).
Totah emphasized the importance of strengthening U.S.-Armenia trade
relations and timely passage of S. 1557, which would extend permanent
normal trade relations to Armenia. This important legislation was
introduced by Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and
continues to gain momentum with the support of the Bush Administration
as well as 21 Senators. Totah also urged support of S. Res. 164,
which affirms the Armenian Genocide. Introduced by Senator John Ensign
(R-NV), S. Res. 164 is currently pending further action in the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
"On behalf of the ARMENPAC Board of Directors, I was pleased to attend
this landmark event to honor my home-town Senator," said ARMENPAC
Co-Chair Annie Totah. "Each and every Senator was receptive to our
issues and I look forward to working with them throughout the
remainder of the 108th Congress and beyond."
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.
