Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC-10) released the following statement on the announcement by Speaker John Boehner that the House of Representatives will vote to create special select committee to investigate the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens: 

"I commend Speaker Boehner for this important announcement and Chairman Issa for his tireless work to uncover the truth of what happened on that horrible night in 2012.

"As an Oversight Committee member, I was initially hesitant to support a select committee, believing our Committee would be best suited to uncover the truth. Unfortunately, this Administration's countless attempts at cover ups leave us no choice other than a select committee.

"The American people can rest assured House Republicans will not stop until we have the truth about who was responsible for the deaths of these four brave Americans and why the President and his administration refused to act to save them that night."
