    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.
