The Armenian Assembly of America will welcome Congressman Ron Klein
(D-FL) as a special guest speaker at its Annual Member Meeting on
February 23rd in Boynton Beach, Florida.
Klein, who represents Florida's 22nd Congressional District, was one
of 27 Members who voted in favor of the Armenian Genocide Resolution
(H. Res. 106) which passed in the House Foreign Affairs Committee
last October.
"As a student of history, I feel a solemn responsibility to fight for
memory of those who perished in the Armenian Genocide. Only once we
face the atrocities of humanity can we prevent tragedies like this
from occurring again," Klein said. "I look forward to working with
the members of the Armenian Assembly to advance the cause of justice."
"We commend Congressman Klein for his strong stand in support of the
truth and look forward to his remarks at our Annual Member Meeting,"
said Executive Director Bryan Ardouny.
As a Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Klein sits on
the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere and the Subcommittee on
Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade. He was also recently appointed
to serve as Vice Chair of the Middle East Subcommittee. Klein is
also a Member of the Financial Services Committee, where he serves
on the Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee,
Insurance and Government Sponsored Enterprises Subcommittee, and the
Oversight Committee.
The Annual Member Meeting will provide a forum for members to come
together to review the activities and goals of the Assembly.
