                          JUSTICE FOR BENGHAZI

  (Mrs. WAGNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. WAGNER. Mr. Speaker, for the past 12 years, September 11 has 
been a day of solemn remembrance in America. And 1 year ago, it was a 
day of violence in Benghazi that ended with four dead Americans during 
a planned terrorist track.
  Mr. Speaker, as a former United States Ambassador, I rise today in 
honor of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Information Officer Sean Smith, and 
Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods. Their families and the 
American people deserve answers; they deserve the truth and, more 
importantly, justice.
  One year later, there are still so many unanswered questions: Why did 
we not answer the cries for greater security at the U.S. consulate? Why 
in the days and weeks after Benghazi did the administration lie about 
the terrorist attack? And who gave the stand-down order?
  It is shameful that the Obama administration has refused to track and 
punish those who attacked and murdered these four Americans. The 
American people deserve answers.
  The Congress should convene a select committee to investigate the 
terrorist attack in Benghazi. The victims' families deserve the truth. 
The American people deserve a Commander in Chief that stands for 
strength, liberty, and justice.
