Now, is the explanation for those demonstrably false statements... negligence? Was it just a reckless disregard for the truth? Or was it more nefarious than that?

I can think of few things, Mr. Chairman, more antithetical to spontaneity than a 12-month long prologue of violence in Libya.

We now know that in fact it was caused by a terrorist attack that was reasonably predictable to eventually happen somewhere in the world, especially on September 11th.

We owe it to our Federal employees who put themselves and their families in harm's way around the world.

This rush toward a reduced presence of U.S. personnel continued even as a bomb blew a 12-foot opening in the wall of this very compound we speak about today.

Accounts from security officials who were on the ground and documents indicate that they repeatedly warned Washington officials about the dangerous situation in Libya.

The safe haven within the compound which some State Department officials seem to think could protect the Benghazi compound's inhabitants did not work.

I deeply, again, appreciate Secretary Clinton's efforts to cooperate with this investigation.

There was no protest. And cameras reveal that.

What they will not forgive, Mr. Chairman, is being misled.

It had never been the State Department's position, I repeat never been the State Department's position, that in fact, this assault was part of a reaction to a video or the like.

Why is it that the president is operating a year after having attacked Libya without a policy?

This goes right to the failure of this administration's policies in Libya.

I would like to also start by thanking Congressmen Renacci and Ellison for showing the type of bipartisan leadership that Americans so desperately want and need.

The NCTUE is a comprehensive database of fully reported utility and telco payment data.

The reason why there is variance is that there is a sleight of hand here in the representations.

As Chairman Turner emphasized, we are extremely concerned about the deficiencies that came to light...

We will leave no stone unturned, Mr. Chairman and Ranking Member Sanchez, as we investigate what led to this unacceptable incident at Y-12.

We now have proof. So this is an issue that has to be addressed.

First, the contractor's poor performance is inexcusable.

It is clear that taxpayers in particular and even just from a safety standpoint Americans need much more than what we saw on that night.

This is a problem. Not only did they penetrate the security, but once they were able to reach the central storage facilities for nuclear weapons grade uranium...

I do believe that we have clearly an unacceptable problem with respect to management of security and safety.

There are people who had responsibility for it, and they should be held accountable.

The American public expects that we would have the highest level of security.
