Mr. Speaker, I've been asking a series of questions over the last 3 weeks about what happened in Benghazi last September. After a year of investigation, none of the questions have been answered publicly, not one. Tomorrow is the last day before Congress departs for its August recess, and I plan to resubmit all the questions that I've asked so they are listed in the Congressional Record for history to see--and history will determine whether the American people ever learned the truth. Yesterday, I focused my questions on the other U.S. facility that was attacked that night, the CIA annex. Today, I have only one question: Who in the White House knew what was going on in the annex? That's it. One question: Who knew? The Chief of Staff? Then-Deputy National Security Advisor and current CIA Director John Brennan? Something is just not right. It is time to honor both those who were killed and the survivors by creating a House select committee and, in the words of the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal, let Benghazi's chips fall. ____________________
