The Bush administration yesterday reiterated its opposition to bringing
to the House floor an Armenian resolution which was passed last week
by the US House of Representatives Foreign Relations Committee. "There
should be no question of the president’s views on this issue and the
damage that this resolution can do to our US foreign policy interests,"
said White House spokesman Tony Fratto.

"We would strongly encourage the speaker not to bring this to a vote,
and should it come to a vote, we will strongly encourage members not
to support it. This is not the best way to deal with this issue."
