Rep. McMillin offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 91.
A resolution to urge Congress to continue to investigate and determine what happened in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.
Whereas, On September 11, 2012, armed militants attacked the U.S. consulate and a CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya. The U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed in the terrorist attack, and an unknown number of survivors wounded; and
Whereas, The Obama administration initially reported to the American people that the attack was the result of a spontaneous riot instigated by protests over an anti-Islamic film. Later, it was revealed that there was no evidence of a riot and clear evidence that the attack was premeditated. The exact events of that day and the nature of the U.S. operations in Libya still remain a mystery; and
Whereas, The President and key members of his administration continue to impede a thorough congressional investigation into this tragedy. Despite requests, the administration has denied Congress information about the survivors or an opportunity to interview them; and
Whereas, The American people deserve to know the truth about what happened that day and the administration's response. Our nation's trust in our government and its elected leaders is shaken at its foundation without transparency and accountability; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge Congress to continue to investigate and determine what happened in Benghazi on September 11, 2012; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
