On June 8, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) delivered a passionate speech on the House floor, calling for a new investigation into the USS Liberty attack, which occurred during the 1967 Six-Day War. He emphasized the need for closure and justice for the surviving crew members, many of whom were present during his address. Massie criticized both the original investigation and decades of congressional inaction, highlighting the attack's controversial nature, which resulted in 34 American deaths and 171 injuries. He entered into the Congressional Record a declaration from the late Capt. Ward Boston, who argued that the official inquiry was flawed. Massie referenced several high-profile figures, including former U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk and former CIA Director Richard Helms, who questioned whether the attack was truly accidental. He concluded with a call to action for Congress to formally honor the victims and survivors and to conduct a new investigation into the incident, asserting that it is long overdue.
