Dear Mr. Nalpatian:

Thank you for contacting me to express your views on U.S. aid to Armenia. I appreciate you taking the time to contact me about this important issue, and I apologize for the delay in responding.

I agree that U.S. aid to Armenia has made a meaningful difference in the lives of its citizens and has also contributed to the strong relationship that exists between our two countries.

The fiscal year 2010 State and Foreign Operations Appropriations bill that recently passed the House of Representatives included $48 million in assistance for Armenia-the same amount as in 2009. While I would have preferred a larger appropriation, I consider this a favorable outcome given the current economic climate and that fact that other foreign assistance programs have faced cutbacks.

As a member of the Congressional Armenia Caucus, I strongly believe that we should continue working to build stronger cultural and economic links between the United States and Armenia, recognizing the many wonderful contributions that Armenian-Americans have made to our country.

Once again, thank you for contacting me. I look forward to hearing from you in the future on this and other issues of importance to our community, our state, and our nation.
