Today I was unavoidably detained and missed roll call vote 491, to concur in the Senate Amendment to H.R. 1412, the Veterans Affairs Expiring Authorities Act, and roll call 492, on H.R. 3096, which would designate the FBI Building in…

Yesterday, FOX News reported that ``massive amounts of highly sensitive U.S. military equipment'' has been stolen in Libya by militia groups aligned with terrorists. These new developments, along with earlier reports that hundreds of…

I want to thank Chairman Rogers for moving this bill. It is very important. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.J. Res. 59, providing continuing appropriations for the initial weeks of fiscal year 2014 through December 15…

I want to begin by thanking Chairman Royce for swiftly moving the bill and for his comments today. I also thank the Republican leadership for recognizing that this simple but critical legislation is worthy of making it a priority by this…

I thank Mr. King for the time. I am very grateful. Madam Speaker, yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of the deadly attacks on the U.S. consulate and CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya, which took the lives of four Americans, and seriously…

There may be. Perhaps the Intel Committee has it. I understand there are some timelines out there that do not quite, quite match; but I do not know the answer to that. That's why we need public hearings.

My committee that I chair, the House Appropriations subcommittee that funds the Justice Department and the FBI, we have never received an autopsy report. We have been told how the death of the Ambassador took place verbally, but we have…

No, it was not delivered by the administration, nor was it delivered by any committee up here. It was delivered by people who are connected to, related to people who were on the ground.

There were roughly 30 or 31 or so that waited on the tarmac after the fighting had ended to be picked up, and they were not picked up in an American plane; they were picked up in a Libyan plane. There were a number of wounded. One, Mr…

I do not know. I do not serve on the Intelligence Committee. There are all good people on it, and Mr. Rogers does a good job. I can't answer. They can better answer that. I don't know what the rules are with regard to that.

I think not, but I have not been in some of the closed doors. As you know, that is one of the problems. The Intelligence Committee has everything in closed doors. Quite frankly, if you're a Member of the House, you have very little…

I want to thank the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. King) for the time. I am very grateful. Thank you. Mr. Speaker, last evening, CNN reported startling new revelations about efforts by the CIA to prevent agency employees and contractors from…

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…

Over the last 2 weeks, I raised a series of questions focusing on the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, as well as Washington's response, or lack thereof. To date, little is known why Ambassador Stevens was in the U.S. consulate in…

I just want to speak briefly in support of what Mr. Moran said. Mr. Chairman, this law that we are drastically changing was really the result of a bipartisan agreement with regard to the Congress, and it was authored by former Congressman…

Per an agreement with the authorizing committee, this amendment strikes section 123 under the administrative provision of the Federal Highway Administration. This section made certain unobligated balances of contract authority available in…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 29, beginning on line 23, strike section 123. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Virginia is recognized for 5 minutes.

The committee accepts the amendment. It is a good amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

There are only 3 more days until the August recess. Given that no new public hearings are scheduled on Benghazi, it's apparent that the questions I've been asking for the past two weeks--and the American people have been asking for more…

I thank the gentleman. I also want to thank Mr. Latham and Mr. Pastor for their opposition to this amendment. With that, I yield back the balance of my time. THUD Appropriations In 2008, the Congress made a 10-year commitment, as the…

Today I've come to the floor to raise the seventh in a series of critical but unanswered questions about the terrorist attacks on the U.S. consulate and annex in Benghazi last September 11. Despite a year of investigation in a number of…

With only six legislative days left before the Congress departs for August recess, I am increasingly concerned that we will not learn the answers to any of the questions I have raised over the past week before the one year anniversary of…

Today I ask my fifth question about the terrorist attack in Benghazi that remains unanswered: Why was the CIA security team repeatedly ordered to stand down for more than 30 minutes after the attack began? Where did the order to stop the…

Today I ask my fourth question in a series of unresolved issues surrounding the Benghazi terrorist attacks. With only eight more legislative days before the Congress departs for August recess, I'm increasingly concerned that these…

Deuteronomy 16:20 tells us: Justice, justice shalt thou pursue. As we quietly mark the 10-month anniversary of the Benghazi terrorist attacks last week, I know many people wondered if there will ever be any clear resolution to this…
