The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) awarded Rep. Adam
Schiff (D-CA) with an A+ grade in recognition of his ongoing efforts
on the full range of issues important to his Armenian-American
constituents.
"The Armenian National Committee of America, along with Armenian
Americans from throughout Southern California and across our great
nation, commend Rep. Adam Schiff for his hard work in fighting for
the broad range of human rights, humanitarian, and foreign policy
issues of special concern to the Armenian American community," said
ANCA Chairman Kenneth V. Hachikian.
"I am proud to represent a large and vibrant Armenian community, which
has so enriched our nation in every field of endeavor," Rep. Schiff
said. "As a friend of the Armenian community, I will continue working
hard to pursue recognition for the 1.5 million victims of the Armenian
Genocide, as well was policies to ensure a better life for the Armenian
people in our communities and throughout the world."
Schiff is the lead sponsor of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, H.
Res. 252, and has led Congressional efforts to recognize the genocide
and to press successive administrations to do the same.
Rep. Schiff also pioneered the Armenian Genocide Congressional Record
Project, part of an ongoing effort to parallel H. Res. 252. Rep.
Schiff continues to encourage survivors of the Genocide and their
families from throughout the country to participate in the project
by sending in the stories of what happened to their family during
the Genocide to Mary Hovagimian in his Pasadena office.
