Business Council of Alabama Chairman Marty Abroms was the guest of U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville, for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's sobering address to a joint meeting of Congress this week.

Abroms was in the House gallery for Netanyahu's speech about the dangers of Iran possessing and being able to deliver nuclear weapons. "It was probably one of the most electrifying and sobering speeches in my lifetime and maybe one of the most historic certainly in the modern era," Abroms said.

The head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency had a difficult time this week answering simple questions on EPA issues and budgeting that were posed to her by U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Mobile.

EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy testified at a Senate Environment and Public Works Committee hearing. At that hearing, Sessions said his constituents complain about the EPA's "overreach" and wondered whether McCarthy even knows about or recognizes the concerns.

Sessions asked McCarthy whether she could confirm or deny data about droughts and hurricanes.

On droughts, McCarthy said: "I don't know in what context (a scientist) is making statements like that..."

On hurricanes she said: "I cannot answer that question. It's a very complicated issue."

And on temperature she added: "I do not know what the (temperature) models actually are predicting that you are referring to..."

U.S Rep. Martha Roby, R-Montgomery, said revelations that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used a private, personal email account to conduct official business may show that additional information about the deadly Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on U.S. interests in Benghazi has not been released.

Clinton used her personal email account and ran her own private server.

"The computer server that transmitted and received Hillary Rodham Clinton's emails - on a private account she used exclusively for official business when she was secretary of state - traced back to an Internet service registered to her family's home in Chappaqua, N.Y.," according to Internet records reviewed by The Associated Press.

"The highly unusual practice of a Cabinet-level official physically running her own email would have given Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, impressive control over limiting access to her message archives. It also would distinguish Clinton's secretive email practices as far more sophisticated than some politicians, including Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin, who were caught conducting official business using free email services operated by Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc."

Roby, who was appointed last year to the House Select Committee to investigate the Benghazi attack, believes the Clinton emails prove the investigation is far from over, Yellowhammer reported.

"Remember when the Administration told us every question about Benghazi had been answered?" Roby said on Tuesday. "Well, this revelation proves that the Administration and State Department may still be obscuring information. The problem here, of course, is that Clinton appears to have flouted federal requirements stating that official correspondence be retained as part of the agency's record. This troublesome finding only raises more questions about the Administration's track record of obscuring information. We'll continue to ask the tough questions and seek answers from a less-than-willing Administration."

Roby was appointed last May to the House Select Committee to Investigate Benghazi chaired by Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C.
