Bipartisan support for the adoption of the Armenian Genocide
Resolution, H.Res.106, continues to grow, with new cosponsors joining
this measure over the past week from Colorado, Georgia, Maine,
Minnesota, Oregon, and Texas, reported the Armenian National Committee
of America (ANCA).
Over the past week, more than a dozen new US Representatives have
cosponsored the resolution, among them: Diana DeGette (D-CO), Keith
Ellison (D-MN), Gene Green (D-TX), Jane Harman (D-CA), Henry "Hank"
Johnson (D-GA), Doug Lamborn (R-CO), Kenny Marchant (R-TX), Kevin
McCarthy (R-CA), Jerry McNerney (D-CA), Michael Michaud (D-ME), Nydia
Velazquez (D-NY), James Walsh (R-NY), and David Wu (D-OR). All told,
the more than 175 cosponsors for the anti-genocide measure have come
from thirty-four states and the District of Columbia.
The resolution is identical to legislation introduced in the previous
session of Congress, which was overwhelmingly approved in the
International Relations Committee (now called the Foreign Affairs
Committee), only to be blocked from final passage by the House
leadership.
