Yes, both will pass the committee stage. The vote in 2000 was 24 to 11 in committee.
If it gets to the floor, it will pass in a full House vote. The problem is getting it to the floor because Speaker Hastert makes that decision.

he said that yes, we and Turkey are allies, yes Turkey helped us a lot, but still this does not mean that we should look the other way of a horrific and historical fact that happened

I was looking at how the members of the committee voted in 2000 and many of the 11 who voted against it are gone. Only 3 of the 11 that voted against it are still on the committee -- Lantos (Calif.), Faleomavaega (Samoa), and Burton (Indiana) -- and now Lantos is supporting it. Not only should the bills easily pass, assuming the new members aren't all against it, but they should pass with great majorities. The top 2 republicans were not present last time to vote - Hyde and Leach.
