Meetings on the Hill continued

Throughout the internship, the interns have been meeting up with many Congressmen and women. This past week saw two meetings on the Hill; with Congressman Knollenberg and Congresswoman Speier.

Congressman Knollenberg, from Michigan's 9th district, was elected to Congress in 1992 and is the ranking member on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation and Housing and Urban Development, as well as being the Co-Chair of the Armenian Caucus.



Congresswoman Jackie Speier, from San Fransisco, whose mother is Armenian, represents the 12th district of California, and was recently elected in April, winning the special election for the vacated United States House of Representatives seat of late Congressman Tom Lantos.
