he goes to the dakota shortly before noon and joins a small group of fans hovering near the entrance.hapman will spend the next two days waiting for john lennon. >> who was mark david chapman? >> on december 8, 1980, mark david chapman was a very confused person, he was literally living inside of a paper back novel, j.d. salinger's "the catcher and the rye." and he was vacillating between suicide and taking a taxi back and forth to hawaii and back and forth between killing an icon. >> around 3:00 a.m. on the morning of december 8, he checks in with his wife back in hawaii. after hanging up, he takes his bible from his suitcase and turns to the book of john. he writes the name lennon after the words "the gospel accord to john." around 8:00 a.m., he heads back to the dakota. >> i had a premonition that this is the last time i would leave my hotel room. i hadn't seen him up to that point, that's what makes it interesting, i wasn't sure he was in the building. and then i left the hotel room, bought a copy of "the catcher and the rye" and i wrote underneath it signed it and wrote "this is

these years in the dakota, he's a cowboy rancher. he's got two brands, the cross and the alcorn. he says, i never could've been president or a leader without my time in north dakota. they milk that for everything it is worth in north dakota today. if you go up to theodore roosevelt national park in the badlands where the whole town has been saved -- what he meant was, i was raised well in new york. i had money. when i went out to dakota, i got to live with rough and ready people, what he considered the american archetype, and he liked what he saw. men of self-reliance. a blizzard would occur, and everybody would pull together in the community. he liked the type of men that our western states were developing. i don't want to say he mythologized the cowboy, because he was much more sick -- sophisticated. he became an ethnographer. as president, he got john lomax's funding from france to do studies on cowboy culture because he thought cowboys were the knights of king arthur. they called him "four eyes" at first, but he could hang in there. they became impressed with his leadership be

the oil a north dakota is -- a lot of american ownership in this. the friend and ally of canada, instead of getting the type quality of oil from a country we don't have a favorable relationship with venezuela, we can get it from canada. and it can come through this country and the suggestion that it will benefit anybody in this country is completely, completely wrong. i know the senator from north dakota has pointed this out before, that to 100,000 barrels of oil a day with but if you're from his state of north dakota and montana. a lot of the oil that is so valued and would take pressure off of the railroads. interestingly enough, he pointed out that it was found by the administration with no significant environmental impact. well, think about this. you are putting this oil on a rail car or truck and the studies show that that parade 28% to 42% more emissions that shipping in the pipeline. it is going to go some way. it is going to go in a truck rail car pipeline. if he goes on a rail car or truck, 28% to 42% more emissions than doing it in the pipe

president if i could interject, the senator from south dakota is exactly right. i would add to that not only is this enjoyed broad bipartisan support in the senate and congress, we have more than 200 law enforcement and the rights organization that had endorsed this bill that are banking us to pass it. groups like the coalition against trafficking in women because they know that we need to focus but just as importantly, we need to get the services to the vic to to begin to let them heal and get on with their lives. as we said earlier, these are young girls 12 to 14 years of age. can you imagine the scars can you imagine this terrible crime? because of the political shenanigans here is another day the state dems with access to the services they need. >> if they survive -- if they survive imagine how messed up these young victims will be we have an opportunity to do something about it. on the other side they described this as a sleight-of-hand. this is a clear choice by democrats that she is partisan politics over the victims of human trafficking. it is as simple as

the presiding officer: the senator from north dakota. ms. heitkamp: i'd ask that the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: without objection. ms. heitkamp: mr. president i come to the floor today to talk about what i believe may be one of the most critical pieces of legislation to address human trafficking in the united states and that piece of legislation is senator leahy's runaway and homeless youth and trafficking prevention act. i am proud to be a cosponsor of this legislation and to add my name to senator leahy's amendment that he introduced yesterday that adds this important piece of legislation to this current debate. senator leahy as we all know, has been a tireless advocate for homeless and runaway youth and for lgbt individuals and victims of human trafficking. and his bill would provide the necessary services and additional protections for all of these young children. so thank you again senator leahy, for your continued work on behalf of some of our most vulnerable our runaway and homeless youth. as a former attorney gene

so i think the senator from illinois and i know we are joined by the senator from south dakota who is the head of our conference and the republican conference and to white now has been very concerned about the dysfunction in this place. actually we saw this as an opportunity to start demonstrating we can actually do the people's business once again after coming off of a very tough election, tougher for our democratic friends found was for our side of the aisle where voter after voter said they were sick and tired of the dysfunction here. we want to build a show that we can be responsive to the needs of the most vulnerable people in our country. so i would yield to the senator from south dakota for any comments you would care to make. >> i think the senator from texas for his leadership on this issue as well as the senator from iowa senator grassley for moving this legislation forward. the senator from taxes -- texas who has been involved with this legislation knows if there was ever an issue ever an issue that we deal with here in united states senate that goes beyond the line of part

the senator from south dakota mentioned the four pinocchio test. it is important to highlight some of the irony that we see with this veto of this legislation coming from this administration. the president is making a mockery of the executive order meant to expedite decisions. 2,360 days since this application has been submitted for permit. there are other ironies. last month the white house released the national security strategy for this country and the challenges faced by ukrainian and european dependence on russian energy provide a spotlight on the expanded need for energy security that recognizes the collective need of the united states, our allies and trading partners as well as the importance of competitive energy markets. therefore we markets. therefore we must support diverse avert a diversity of energy markets, greater energy security and independence within the americas being central to these efforts. the president vetoed the keystone xl pipeline. contradicting his own energy policy that he outlines in the council of economic advisers wh

quorum call: the presiding officer: the senator from north dakota. mr. hoeven: madam president i ask that the quorum call be suspended. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. hoeven: madam president i rise today to speak in support of the justice for victims of trafficking act legislation that has been drafted and introduced by my good friend, senator john cornyn of texas senator amy klobuchar of minnesota. the bill helps survivors of trafficking and child pornography and aids law enforcement in discouraging demand for these serious crimes. this is a bill i originally introduced in 2013, and i was a cosponsor of that bill, and i am also an original cosponsor of this bipartisan legislation whichway introduced earlier this year because it is very important legislation that we pass it. it's important because it not only compensates victims of human trafficking and other crimes of exploitation for their injuries but also provides resources to help law enforcement prevent such crimes in the future by targeting demand. the need for this bill is real and

the senator from south dakota is exactly right. but i would add to that that not only does this enjoy broad bipartisan support within the senate and the congress, we have more than 200 law enforcement and victim rights organizations that have endorsed this bill that are begging us to pass it. groups like the coalition against trafficking in women because they know that we need to focus on take the profit out of this crime. but just as importantly, we need to get the services to the victims to begin to let them heal and get on with their lives. as we said earlier these are typically young girls 12 to 14 years of age. can you imagine the scars both physical and psychological that they bear having experienced this terrible crime? and so every day we delay in getting this bill passed because of the political shenanigans here is another day that these victims of this terrible crime can denied access to the services they need. mr. thune: well, and if they survive, if they survive imagine how messed up some of these young victims are going

. 198 sons of north dakota did not make it home from the vietnam war. 198 sons of north dakota gave their lives in service to the freedom of this country these sons brothers, and fathers have made the ultimate sacrifice, and today i want to individually honor them by talking about the lives of these individuals -- some of these individual members. i intend throughout this congress to come to the floor and remember each one of them individually and remember each one of their sacrifice. the and so today i begin with david elsberg. i was june 1949. he served in the army, 196 light infawntory brigade. the date of his death was september 9 1969. he was 20 years old. david had a brother, he had a sister and three brothers, one who also served -- a brother who also served and was injured in vietnam. david's family remembers him as a kind, generous person who thought of everyone else first. fellow soldier paul hughes wrote the book "the light within" which includes an account of david's death. david's family is thankful to his fellow soldiers and friends for taking care of him. elroy buyer born f

drilling rigs avoid the energy revolution and the renaissance and those jobs layoffs in texas and the dakotas, layoffs in the area that powered this u.s. economy through the recovery. so again in the long run, we're certain that the price of energy will remain elevated as long as geopolitical turmoil is elevated throughout the country, and any type of nuclear deal with iran would increase that by removing sanctions, allowing the free low of energy from iran, giving them the energy source to increase turmoil and back groups like yemen today. it comes back to home at some level neil. neil: speaking of, which gentlemen, thank you off. the iran nuke deal. it's supposed to send prices lower because it would allow the iranians to sell more oil, half a million more barrels a day. the problem is they have six days left to get a deal done and the u.n. wants to examine the country's nuclear activities and iran is saying no deal to that. all of this makes former u.n. weapons inspector think even if we get a deal done we can't trust the deal. my own betting is they're going to cobble something together b
