bennet farland confirmed he made with two federal investigators about his self-suit. >> the attorney general basically swooped in and killed the case after these three individuals were indicted. that raised political flags, especially given the fact that one of the defendants after being indicted specifically said -- and this was reported in the local papers governor christie is going to come in and kill the case. frankly, that's exactly what happened. and the citizens for ethics is now calling for a state ethics vgz of christie. it is related to a "new york times" story this week that the governor's private plane went to israel in 2012 and jordan's king abdullah paid for a family vacation at the end of that trip. this is after christie was in the uk saying there should be a balance on mandatory vaccines. >>> posts from benjamin coal who served as the senior adviser for policy communications were first uncovered by a website. they posted a string of his racial remarks including this one from 2013 where he compares two black people to zoo animals. in this he suggests a mosque should b

i was listening to michael bennet talk a minute ago. i happen to be one of the two remaining members of congress who wrote no child left behind. everybody else has gone on to bigger and better things. and we would all tell you the following. last night when ted kennedy and i and george miller and john boehner were in the basement of the capitol and signed off on the conference committee report, we almost said in unison, you know, if this works, we're going to be in trouble in six years because it's going to be harder and harder to do. so if we had done a reauthorization seven years ago, a lot of the problems that we know are going on right now wouldn't be going on because we would have corrected that. and number two, this is not a defensive speech i'm making here but it's for educational purposes. assessment was very important. disaggregation was very important and no child left behind did that. no child flew under the radar screen. we did something -- we always averaged them out and set our basic skills said we're doing "x." that wasn'

i'm on the working group with my colleague senator bennet. look forward to moving forward on tax reform. i, like the chairman, believe our tax code is too costly, too complex and too burdensome. i still would like to tackle this issue on infrastructure. i think that's good for the state of nevada, we bring more people in two portions of our state. and i think it's a core function of this government. i'm sure that you're aware of chairman dave jansen former ways and means chairman, as he introduced a tax refund discussion draft and one of the proposals that he had was a repatriation proposal that was imposed of two rates one for cash and one for assets. was there any reason why the administration didn't look at this and impose two different rates of? >> well, senator, there are a lot of similarities between the approach that we have and the approach that former chairman camp had. we think that the rate, rates we put in in our international proposals make good sense. we have two rates one would be a permanent rate of 19% and the other would be

senator mikulski was there, i was there senator murray, senator burr, senator bennet was there. it was a very impressive report. i won't speak long about it because i see the senator from maryland would like to speak but i would like to take about five minutes and say these things. it's sometimes best to tell a story to underscore a point and here's story one. vanderbilt university hired the boston consulting group to tell the university how much it spent, the university spent in complying with federal rules and regulations for higher education in a single year. according to the boston consulting group vanderbilt university last year spent $150 million complying with federal rules and regulations. that's 11% of all of its expenditures. that adds about $11,000 to the tuition of each one of about 12,000 students at the university. that's absolutely absurd, mr. president, absolutely absurd that somehow or another that could happen. or a second example. the student aid form that 20 million families fill out every year. it's 108 questions long. our committee has been told that two qu

bennet: thank you, mr. president. i wanted to come to the floor to thank my friend from north carolina or his -- for his efforts and to echo a lot of points that he already made so well especially about how, you know as we stand here today having this very reasonable unanimous consent request that the senator from north carolina has asked for especially standing here today when attention essentially what we're talking about is a promise that has been broken by this congress to the american people for 50 years. and i want to thank through the chair my colleague from north carolina for trying to rectify that. i'm disappointed that our consent request was objected to but i know this measure has plenty of support. as mentioned we led an amendment on the floor last week with the exact same text as the bill we're talking about today but that amendment received 59 votes but i have a hunch it would comforteddably clear the 60-vote thrilled were it to be -- threshold were it to be considered again and it should be considered a

bennet: mr.president? the presiding officer: the senator from colorado. mr. bennet: i ask the quorum call be rescinded. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. bennet: mr. president i rise to talk about our schools really to talk about our values and our morality, what we stand for as a country to ask whether we are able to look forward and create a better future for our children and to set the record straight let me be clear when it comes to our children, i have fallen short, you have fallen short, this body has fallen short, and let me explain why. we learned in the last couple of weeks that over half of the public school children in this country are now poor enough that they qualify for free and reduced lunch at school, children who through no fault of their own are reaping the whirlwind of 15 years of stagnant middle-class family income and the effects of the worst recession since the great depression. by many measures, as the presiding officer knows colorado's economy leads
