ISSUES
YEREVAN, JULY 2. ARMINFO. Assembly Executive Director Bryan Ardouny
and Congressional Relations Director Rob Mosher met with
Representative Jim Costa (D-CA) on June 30 to thank him for signing on
as an original cosponsor of the Armenian Genocide Resolution
(H. Res. 316), which was introduced by Representatives George
Radanovich (R-CA), Adam Schiff (D- CA), Joe Knollenberg (R-MI) and
Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), and for joining the Congressional Caucus on
Armenian Issues. A long-time supporter of Armenian-American issues as
a member of the California State Assembly, the first-term Congressman
also urged President Bush to properly recognize the Armenian Genocide
in his April 24th commemorative statement. Additionally, he supported
a letter to Foreign Operations Subcommittee on Appropriations Chairman
Jim Kolbe (R- AZ) and Ranking Member Nita Lowey (D-NY), asking that
Congress maintain significant assistance to Armenia and Karabakh in
Fiscal Year 2006. The Armenian Assembly of America is the largest
Washington-based nationwide organization promoting public
understanding and awareness of Armenian issues. It is a 501 (c) (3)
tax-exempt membership organization.
