“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask another question that has not yet been answered by the House. This question will be the third in a series of critical issues that have not yet been resolved. I will continue to raise additional questions for the next 9 legislative days until we depart for August recess, keeping in mind that the 1-year anniversary of the Benghazi attacks will be upon us when the Congress returns in September. It is also noteworthy that there does not appear to be a single hearing on Benghazi scheduled in any committee between now and the 1- year anniversary. That is why, in the absence of public hearings to address these questions, I am raising them on the House floor this month. On Tuesday, I raised the question on why none of the Benghazi survivors--whether the State Department, CIA, or private security contractor employee--have testified publicly before Congress.

I also asked who provided the terrorists with a detailed understanding of the consulate property. Today, I return again to the Benghazi survivors and other career employees and contractors working for the CIA, Defense Department, and the State Department who were involved in the response, or the lack thereof, to the Benghazi attacks.…”
