| (WASHINGTON) – U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, will participate today at a press conference with other House Republicans to discuss a request submitted to the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to investigate the involvement of the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and the U.S. State Department in the evolving political situation in Honduras.
Ros-Lehtinen will also be discussing a letter to the Librarian of Congress which she is spearheading in response to a request from Senator John Kerry (D-MA) and Committee Chairman Howard Berman (D-CA) that the Law Library of Congress withdraw and “correct” the report on Honduran constitutional issues it released in August. The Ros-Lehtinen-led letter will support the institutional independence and impartiality of the Library of Congress and urge the Librarian of Congress not to allow the Library to be politicized.
