H.Res.252 Won’t Make It to Full Congress Agenda: Hillary Clinton

10:33 – 06.03.10

Barack Obama’s administration is going to do everything possible so
that House Resolution 252 on the Armenian Genocide doesn’t make it to
the full Congress for a vote, said US Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton.

`We’re going to work hard so that the resolution doesn’t make it into
the Congress agenda,’ said Clinton.

Following Thursday’s dramatic House Foreign Affairs Committee vote
approving H.Res.252 affirming the Armenian Genocide, Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton said the resolution should go no further.

While on a tour of Latin America, Clinton said from Costa Rica that
the Obama administration has made its intentions clear:

`We do not believe that the full Congress will or should vote on that
resolution and we have made that clear to all the parties involved,’
Clinton said.

Three times since 2000 – while both Democrats and Republicans were in
office – similar resolutions never got off the Floor.
