    96TH CONGRESSMAN JIM COSTA JOINS CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS ON ARMENIAN
    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.
