Washington, D.C. – House Democracy Partnership Co-Chairs, Representatives David Price (D-NC) and David Dreier (R-CA) spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives this morning condemning the attacks in Libya on U.S. Embassy personnel, which resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens. Reps. Price and Dreier extended the condolences of all members of the House to the families and loved ones of those killed, and spoke about their appreciation of the hard work undertaken by diplomats in countries around the world, and in Libya as it transitions to representative democracy.
