EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

An ongoing Congressional investigation across five House Committees concerning
the events surrounding the September 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on U.S. facilities in
Benghazi, Libya has made several determinations to date, including:


- Reductions of security levels prior to the attacks in Benghazi were approved at the
highest levels of the State Department, up to and including Secretary Clinton. This
fact contradicts her testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on
January 23, 2013.


- In the days following the attacks, White House and senior State Department
officials altered accurate talking points drafted by the Intelligence Community in
orderto protect the State Department.


 -Contrary to Administration rhetoric, the talking points were not edited to protect
classified information. Concern for classified information is never mentioned in
email traffic among senior Administration officials.


These preliminary findings illustrate the need for continued examination and
oversight by the five House Committees. The Committees will continue to review who
exactly was responsible for the failure to respond to the repeated requests for more
security and for the effort to cover up the nature of the attacks, so that appropriate officials
will be held accountable.
