WASHINGTON DC, UNITED STATES, October 8, 2006: The Hindu American Foundation (HAF) concluded its third annual Government Outreach and Leadership Conference on September 28, 2006. Two days of individual meetings with over twenty-five senators and members of the House of Representatives, Department of Justice, and State Department were highlighted by a dinner reception held within the rotunda of the United States Capitol building on September 27, 2006. In comments that echoed those of the others, Rep. Crowley said, “The Hindu American Foundation’s presence here on the Hill has made it possible for important human rights issues to be heard that heretofore had never been addressed in any organized fashion. HAF must continue to press its case and I look forward to working with HAF as it does so.” Ed Royce (R-CA), Brad Sherman (D-CA) and Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX) were among the other congressional leaders that delivered remarks at the meeting.
