WARWICK, R.I. -- U.S. Rep. Jim Langevin responded to the report of Internal Revenue Service employees targeting conservative groups for additional scrutiny, by issuing the following statement:
"I am deeply disturbed by the recent reports of inappropriate targeting by Internal Revenue Service employees. All citizens must be able to trust that they will receive fair treatment and equal protection from our government, regardless of their political beliefs. These actions require careful and immediate scrutiny, and I am confident that President Obama will move quickly to ensure [that] a thorough investigation occurs and all responsible parties are held accountable."
