/PanARMENIAN.Net/ US Congressman Jim Costa (D-CA) has joined the
Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues, reported the Armenian Assembly of
America. Representative Costa signed 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). 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.
