King Sends Letter to Senate Foreign Relations Committee Members
Washington, DC- Congressman Steve King released the following statement after submitting a letter to the Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The letter urges the Members of the Committee to obtain a commitment from Secretary of State nominee, Senator John Kerry, to pursue a thorough investigation into the events that occurred in Benghazi on September 11, 2012:
"The events that occurred in Benghazi last fall were tragic and likely preventable," said King. "As the process to confirm Senator Kerry as Secretary of State begins, I want to remind the Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee of the four American lives that were lost on that 11th anniversary of September 11, 2001. So many questions remain unanswered, and that is why we must leave no stone unturned to discover what really happened that night and who is responsible. Today I urge these Senators on the Foreign Relations Committee to insist John Kerry dedicate whatever means are necessary to shed light on what really happened in Benghazi."
