    RE: Assembly Executive Director thanks Rep. Costa for Supporting
    Armenian Genocide Resolution, Joining Armenian Caucus


    Washington, DC - Armenian 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.
