                    THE SUN, THE MOON, AND THE TRUTH

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, Buddha once said there are three things that 
cannot be hidden long: the Sun, the Moon, and the truth.
  It has been 18 months since the attack in Benghazi, and this piece of 
proverbial wisdom has again proved prescient.
  Evidence is mounting that the Obama administration manipulated the 
truth of what happened on September 11, 2012, when our Ambassador and 
three other Americans were killed in what early reports indicated was a 
planned attack on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi.
  Sadly, repeated attempts by this House to ascertain the truth of what 
happened have been dismissed by the administration as ``politicizing'' 
the tragedy. The deep irony is that it was the White House's political 
maneuvering which led to the truth being buried in the first place.
  The emails released last week shed more light on the White House's 
response to the attacks. More will be learned as the investigation 
continues.
  Coverups, like clouds, are temporary. They can't hold back the light 
forever. Americans want answers, and they will get them.
