Following the historic news that Osama Bin Laden had been killed in Pakistan, Congressman Dan Lungren (R-Gold River- CA) released the following statement:

"The horrific tragedy of September 11 was the main reason I felt the need to return to public service. In a region of Pakistan, the mastermind of that crime and the leader of the Al Qaeda terrorist network, Osama Bin Laden has been killed. I am pleased to hear this news.

"This is a strong reminder that actionable intelligence is the key to success in these types of operations. It is important we keep this in mind as we look at extending elements of the Patriot Act.

"I would like to commend the hard work of the intelligence community, Special Forces personnel and all of our military service members for their tireless efforts in serving justice for the American people."
