result of their work, we generated financial savings that made it possible to include the isakson-bennet legislation on residential mortgages, which i would submit, mr. president, is a very, very significant and positive development in the energy efficiency field. this is not a small matter to really take bold steps to improve energy efficiency in residential mortgages, the way our colleagues, senator isakson and senator bennet, have done in a bipartisan fashion. so, the reason that this -- so the reason that this efficiency legislation is back is because it's sensible, because it has bipartisan appeal. it's about cutting waste and creating jobs. and passing this legislation would be the biggest step in years towards tapping the enormous potential of energy efficiency, which of course is the most accessible and cheapest energy source america has. here are the most relevant figures with respect to the benefits of this bill: the bill saves about 2.8 billion megawatts of electric according to the american council for an energy-efficient economy. so to kind of translate this into something p

bennet: thank you, madam president. i am on the floor today to talk about the minimum wage bill that is before us this week, and once again, i have the opportunity to come here and say that washington, d.c., is absolutely decoupled with the conversations that people are having in colorado, whether they are republicans, democrats or independents, and we have another example of that here today during this debate. if you can call it a debate, madam president, because once again, there are people in the united states senate who are using their prerogatives as senators to keep us from debating a bill fully and to keep us from actually voting on a bill. an up-or-down vote on a bill that the vast majority of americans support, whether they are democrats, republicans or independents, and there is a reason why america supports this legislation, because right now if you work 40 hours a week in the united states of america, in the greatest country in the world, at a federal minimum wage, you make barely over $15,000 a year. 40 hou

senators udall and bennet's amendment reins in the massive spending of super pac's which have grown so the sits united decision. it also provides states with authority to institute campaign spending limits at state levels. i know the state of montana, that was in effect for decades after decades after decades. the courts knocked that out because of the citizens united case. such a shame. the proposed amendment makes our nation's campaigns fair, allows candidates to help their voting constituents instead of big spending special interest groups. here is something else that justice stevens said. unlimited campaign expenditures are purely the process of democratic self-government. they create a risk that successful candidates will create more attention to the interest of nonvoters, provided them with money in the interest of voters who elected them. that risk is unacceptable, justice stevens said. so, mr. president, it's unacceptable that the recent supreme court decisions have taken power away from the american voter, instead giving it to a select few of megabillionaires. soon, chairman l

on the democratic side, it was shaheen, bennet, coons, franken, landrieu, manchin and warner. a good mix of senators on both sides. so it will be very, very hard to find a more bipartisan bill. and i washed with them, i didn't give up. we continued trying to move forward. we did that as we did with child care last -- recently. it was in march, actually. i have looked for other bipartisan bills that we could come forward on. we did it with the child care bill. we should do it on this bill. that was my anticipation, and we were able to do it, i thought. so this shaheen-portman bill is a very fine bill. i reached out to republican senators. to be honest with you, they reached out to me, mr. president. they wanted to work to get this passed. we said originally the arrangement was let's just pass this bill as it is. right before the august recess, i was told how about a sense of the senate resolution on keystone. i said i don't want to do that. we already have an agreement. anyway, we relented and said okay. so i come back after the easter recess. well, that agreement that we have,

and again a hoeven-manchin-isakson-bennet efficiency in residential buildings. and the 10th amendment was by senator sessions and pryor, requires d.o.e. to recognize independent certification programs. so this argument that the reason we can't have a vote on the keystone pipeline is because democrats would not allow amendments is completely bogus. completely bogus. and anyone following this debate knows that. senator shaheen and senator portman compromised, and i thought as the new chair of the committee, if the republicans wanted a vote on keystone, we could at least offer that and thought that was a big step, i mean a big step. i guess it was so big they decided they didn't want to take it. because they could have had a vote on keystone. they can't take yes for an answer. i thought that was a big step forward, a big improvement over where we were about six months ago when where we had three democrats, we now have almost 11, and the number is growing to support keystone, not because people are not respectful of the president's position, he's entitled to have hi

senator bennet, got busy with the constituent issue. i love it. governor, big deal, well spoken. they go he couldn't make it. you get stuck in traffic. in salt lake city got stuck in traffic? they said it burns, you're running for attorney general, you need to introduce him. i'm going to introduce bob dole? there's like 500 people there. no shit. i walked up there. what should i say? this is easy. it's on a helicopter. just read what orrin hatch was going to say. i said oh, that's what it is? i once saw the state of union -- i thought it was just to keep the president from getting shot. i thought as a kid i could never be president, abraham lincoln said -- how did he remember that? they were reading it. imac and to just as i'm going up, greg who knew me, orrin hatch is advanc advance kentucky grabbing and he said burns, look, don't blow this. don't ad lib., don't go off. i said i won't. he said i'm serious. this is bob dole. read it word for word. so now i'm nervous. he came up, sat next to me. bob dole, how's it going? good. how is your campaign going? i said not too well.

. >> thank you, senator bennet. senator enzi. >> thank you, mr. chairman. and thank you, ms.urwell, for meeting with me yesterday. i always enjoy the visits with you. i have a few questions. i think i mentioned this topic yesterday. during your tenure at omb, we saw a massive failure of a website which was healthcare.gov. and that's a website the administration had three years and $600 billion to build. i know from personal experience, first users couldn't logon. then we couldn't see plans available. then we got kicked off. and then user names weren't recognized. and from folks i've talked to, even users who made it to tend of the process often didn't get confirmation they'd enrolled in a plan as obamacare mandates. as director of omb, you were responsible for the oversight of agency performance and information technology. what role did you play in the development, testing and approval of the website? >> senator, first, i think it's important to recognize what the president and the secretary and the administration have said, which was the rollout was unacceptable. with regard

senator bennet, got busy with its constituent issue.eat, three-time governor, secretary of health and human services, big deal, well spoken. they go she couldn't make it. he got stuck in traffic. salt lake city, got stuck in office? burns, you need introducing. i'm going to introduce bob dole? there's like 500 people. no shit. i walked up there. i remember what should i say? this is easy. it's on the teleprompter. just read what orrin hatch was going to say. i said, oh, that's what that is? state of union -- i thought it was just to keep the president from being shot. [laughter] i would've as a kid, i could never be president because abraham lincoln said, -- how did you remember that quick they were reading it. and so just as i'm going out, greg who knew me, orrin hatch advanced icon he grabbed and he said, burns. what? don't blow this. don't have live. don't go off. i said i won't. he said i'm serious. this is bob dole. read it word for word. now i'm nervous. all right. he came up, bob dole, how's it going? good. azure campaign going?

we have bennet over backwards to make -- we have bent over backwards to make this bill work. it seems our efforts are never enough. each new concession we make bring new demands. republicans working with senators shaheen and portman asked for changes in this bill. 10 bipartisan amendments are now included in the bill in this body. republicans asked for a sense of the senate resolution on the keystone legislation and we agreed. republicans changed their mind and requested a vote on stand-alone keystone legislation and we agreed. if republicans stopped their filibuster of this bill and allow it to proceed, the senate will vote on keystone pipeline legislation, and they know that. that's what they have asked for and we have given it to them. but, mr. president, they have held this bill hostage, this energy efficiency bill as demand after demand has been met, but even now they are still seeking a ransom. so why are we here? why is this bill at risk? i have spoken from time to time recently with my republican colleagues. they come to me saying harry, how can we get the senate back

the four democrats, senators durbin, menendez and bennet. the four republicans -- rubio, flake, and graham. they did good work. couldn't have been done without them. our nation's travel industry, though, needs us to do more. it's so important, mr. president, recognizing the importance of tourism, how important it is that we proceed and help the tourism industry by passing the immigration reform bill. now, i mentioned the good work done by these eight senators. the current president of the las vegas convention and visitors authority and former chairman of the united states travel association, his name is ross rollencutter, stressed the need for investment in our nation's infrastructure. as we invest in the airports, rail and roads, we certainly don't do enough, and when we do, we're effectively opening this nation's doors to our visitors. by providing safe, efficient travel for tourists, we can also ensure that the american travel industry has a reliable, full business. our commitment to bolstering tourism must amount to more than just concre
