Benghazi Select Committee
Investigating the Benghazi Terrorist Attack
Over the last year, I have led congressional efforts to create a
bipartisan House Select Committee to fully investigate the terrorist
attack on the U.S. consulate and annex in Benghazi, Libya. After a year
of investigations in five separate House committees, it is clear that
the only way the American people will ever learn the truth is through a
single Select Committee that will hold public hearing and issue
"friendly subpoenas" to the survivors so they may finally be able to
tell their stories about the attack and the failure by the U.S. to send
assistance that night without fear of reprisal from agencies. It is
inexplicable that after a year of investigations none of the survivors
or the administration officials responsible for the decision not to send
assistance that night have been compelled to testify under oath before
Congress.
My legislation, H. Res. 36, to create the Select Committee has more than 175 cosponsors - a majority of the majority in the House. It has been endorsed by family members of the victims of the attack, the Special Operations community, the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association (which represents the DSS agents in Benghazi) and the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal, among many others.
I have repeatedly written Speaker Boehner urging him to create the Select Committee given the overwhelming support for this effort. Additionally, this summer I went to the House floor nearly every day for three weeks to ask a question of the day about Benghazi (see box below).
More information about the Select Committee resolution and my efforts to raise awareness of the unanswered questions are available below.
