Rep. Schiff with Pilibos and Ferrahian 8th graders on the steps of
the Capitol
WASHINGTON-Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) met with more than 80 eighth
grade students from the Holy Martyrs Ferrahian Middle School and
Rose and Alex Pilibos Armenian Middle School who were visiting the
nation's capital.
During their half-hour meeting with Congressman Schiff on the steps
of the Capitol, the students had an opportunity to ask Schiff about
his positions on various issues that affect the community. Many of
students of both schools live in the 29th Congressional District,
represented by Schiff.
"It was wonderful to meet with such a great group of young and engaged
students," said Schiff. "It's an honor to work and advance issues
important to the Armenian community. And the students I met with
this week asked me some great questions about the Armenian Genocide
resolution and other measures I'm pursuing for the community. It was
a privilege to speak with them, and I hope they all had a memorable
visit to our nation's Capitol."
During the meeting, students asked Schiff about his role as the
lead sponsor of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, about Genocide
insurance claims, taxes, and even the Congressman's travel to and
from the district. After the meeting, Schiff's office also arranged
for the students to have a tour of the Capitol and view proceedings
from the Senate and House Galleries while Congress was in session.
