![]() January 27th, 2010, Washington, D.C. – Earlier this afternoon, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform approved a resolution which honors the Iranian New Year (Nowruz), therefore bringing it one step closer to being voted on in the U.S. House of Representatives. If passed, it would be the first time that the U.S. Congress has officially recognized the Iranian New Year.
PAAIA would like to thank Congressman Michael Honda (CA-15th), who introduced the Nowruz resolution (H.Res. 267) at our request in the March of 2009. This success is a great achievement for the Iranian American community and will help to foster a greater understanding of Iranian culture and heritage as well as projecting an accurate and positive image of our community to the American public as well as policy makers.

If your Representative is already a cosponsor, take the time to thank him or her.
