Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-NY), Ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on State and Foreign Operations, today issued the following release on the release by the House oversight and Government Reform Committee of sensitive documents naming Libyans working with the United States.

"It is outrageous that, in their zeal to score political points against the President, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released sensitive documents naming Libyans working with the U.S. Government. This reckless and irresponsible release jeopardizes the lives and safety of our partners and their families. There is no justification for playing political games with our national security and the wellbeing of Libyans working with us to achieve a more secure future."
