Bossie: Progress Report Noted, Select Committee Needed

Washington, DC — Citizens United President David N. Bossie issued the following statement in response to the non-sanctioned progress report released today by the five House committee chairmen investigating the Benghazi terrorist attack.

“Although I applaud the work that’s been done by the five committees to date, it has become abundantly clear with the release today of a forty-three page ‘interim progress report’ that there is much need for a select committee to get to the bottom of the Benghazi terrorist attack,” said David N. Bossie, President of Citizens United.

“A serious investigation that would systematically hold accountable those responsible can only be done in a bipartisan manner through the authority of a select committee. The Smith and Woods families along with 120 members of the House Republican Conference support this effort. Speaker John Boehner should listen to the families and a majority of his caucus and act immediately by bringing H. Res. 36 to the floor of the House for a vote.”

Citizens United has launched a grassroots campaign in support of H. Res. 36 that has netted over 5,000 letters so far to urge the House to take up this important resolution and Citizens United’s members have made hundreds of calls to their representatives.
