               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.
