HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON BENGHAZI MURDERS
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the American people have
lost faith in the administration.
When four of America's heroes were brutally murdered at the consulate
in Benghazi, Libya, the President promised the families of the fallen
that he would bring those responsible to justice and prevent a future
attack.
Congress has held countless hearings to conduct oversight
responsibilities for the last 19 months. Last week, a secret memo was
discovered. Despite subpoenas, unanswered questions remain as to how
the administration handled the attack.
We must continue to pursue every avenue to ensure all Americans
remain safe from terrorist attacks at home and abroad. Because the
administration continues to provide a misleading and duplicitous
coverup, we owe it to those who have died for America to develop a
select committee to continue the investigation of the Benghazi murders.
I am very grateful House Speaker John Boehner picked a proven
prosecutor for the job. Congressman Trey Gowdy of South Carolina is
most capable of forcing the administration to reveal the truth.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
