              IT'S ABOUT TIME TO GET THE FACTS ON BENGHAZI

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, it has been 19 months since terrorists 
stormed the American consulate in Benghazi. Four Americans were 
murdered. Today, their killers still roam free somewhere in Libya. Why 
have none of them been apprehended?
  Meanwhile, back in the United States, more questions than answers 
remain for this administration.
  Who is responsible for failing to rescue those victims? Who is 
responsible for the massive secrecy campaign of hiding what actually 
happened? Where was the administration during the time of the attack? 
Why did Ambassador Rice mislead the world on national television as to 
the facts?
  A new email has surfaced from the White House entitled, ``PREP CALL 
with Susan,'' where the administration created a goal ``to underscore 
that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader 
failure of policy.''
  Why didn't the administration just tell America the truth about what 
happened?
  I applaud Speaker Boehner for establishing a select committee on 
Benghazi to find out the truth. People in government that concealed and 
botched the Benghazi murders and the terrorists who killed Americans 
should be held accountable. Justice requires it--and justice is what we 
do.
  And that's just the way it is.
