    WASHINGTON, July 24 -- Rep. Adam Schiff issued the following news:

    Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) met with several interns from the
    Armenian National Committee of America in his Washington D.C. office.

    The interns discussed their work at the ANCA and priorities for the
    Armenian-American community, both in Congress and at home. They were
    also given a chance to ask Rep. Schiff questions about his work in
    Congress and to suggest ideas for legislation.

    "I am always pleased to see young people in our country engaging
    in public service and the legislative process, and am especially
    impressed when they demonstrate such enthusiasm and commitment. The
    experiences and professional development that internships provide
    will position these students well for their future endeavors."

    In June, Rep. Schiff also met with several students from the Armenian
    Assembly of America who came to visit his Washington D.C. office. The
    students thanked him for sponsoring the Armenian Genocide Resolution
    and for creating awareness by speaking on the House Floor in Armenian.

    They also shared family stories and asked Rep. Schiff about his
    priorities this Congress.

    "I am proud to represent a large and vibrant Armenian community,
    which has so enriched our nation in so many fields," 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 as policies to ensure a better life for the Armenian
    people in our communities and throughout the world."
