Newly Sponsored Legislation

Sep 13, 2012 | Blog

Senator Rubio is an original co-sponsor of S.RES.551, a resolution honoring the four American public servants who were killed in Benghazi, Libya, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, and formally condemning the terrorist attack on our consulate. Senator Rubio believes these brave diplomats should be commended for their service and for their efforts to help Libya emerge from the shadow of Gaddafi’s oppressive regime. America must now find, and bring to justice, the people who executed this violent and hateful terrorist attack. As Senator Rubio said when he learned of the attack, as well as a separate one in Egypt, “In both Libya and Egypt, their governments have an obligation to resolutely condemn these violent attacks and protect American diplomatic missions and personnel based on their soil.”
