eSignature Legality for Interview Non-Disclosure in United States

How to eSign a document: e-signature legality for Interview Non-Disclosure in United States

next nine legislative days until we depart for august recess keep in mind that the one year anniversary of the benghazi attacks will be upon us when the turns in september it is also noteworthy that there does not appear to be a single hearing on benghazi scheduled in any committee between now and the one year anniversary that is why in the absence of public hearings to address these questions i am raising them on the floor house floor this month on tuesday i raised the question of why none of the benghazi survivors whether the state department cia or private security contract employee have testified publicly before congress yesterday i asked about whether there had been any intelligence failures in the vetting of the libyan militias who abandoned the americans at the consulate as the assault began i also asked who provided the terrorists with a detailed understanding of the consulate property today i returned again to the benghazi survivors and other career employees and contractors working for the cia defense department and the state department who were involved in the response or lacked thereof to the benghazi attacks ing to trusted sources that have contacted my office many if not all of the survivors of the benghazi attacks along with others at the department of defense and cia have been asked or directed to sign additional non-disclosure agreements about their involvement in the benghazi attack some of these new ndas as they call them i've been told were signed as recently as this summer it is worth noting that the marine corps times yesterday reported that the marine colonel whose task force was responsible for special operations in northern and western africa at the time of attack is still on active duty despite claims that he retired and therefore could not be forced to testify before congress if these reports are accurate this would be a stunning revelation to any member of congress any member of congress to find this out and also more importantly to the american people raises serious concerns about the priority of the administration's efforts to silence those with knowledge of the benghazi attack in response so today i ask how many federal employees military personnel or contractors have been asked to sign additional non-disclosure agreements by each agency and do these non-disclosure agreements apply only to those undercover or have non-covert state department and defense department employees been directed to sign them to later today i'll be writing the cia defense department state department to ask for a list of all of their personnel or contractors who have been required to sign original or additional nda relating to benghazi perhaps through a list of all the employees that have signed the ndas relating to benghazi we may finally develop a witness list to subpoena for eyewitness testimony to learn what happened that night where we lost four american lives i do not expect the obama administration to be forthcoming with answers but in this congress if this congress does not ask for the information and compels delivery the american people will never learn the truth any federal employee or contractor who has been coerced into silence through a non-disclosure agreement should expect the congress to speak out on their behalf and compel their voice to be heard that is why i along with 159 of my colleagues support a select committee to hold public hearings to learn the truth about what happened that night in benghazi i say to any colleague who is not on a resolution if you are not on our resolution please get on so we can find the truth for the american people and to yell back the balance of my time the gentleman yields back the chair recognizes the gentleman from new mexico mr lujan for five minutes
