so i went back to school at the university of wyoming. and i was seriously interested in a young lady that i had gone to high school with. she was an excellent student. she graduated the top of our class. she wasn't too sure about where i was headed, but after a year she agreed to marry me, and we'll celebrate our 47th anniversary this year. she was a strong motivator for me to work hard, to be a good student. i got my b.a. and masters at the university of wyoming back in the '60s and then went on to wisconsin where i was working on a doctorate and i had completed all the course work, won what's called a congressional fellowship. it's in effect an internship that had a stipend with it, and it was a relatively small group, but we were able to pick the member of congress we wanted to work for. i came to washington to stay 12 months in 1968. i stayed about 40 years. overran my schedule, but i -- the experience i had, brought a group of members of congress. they would come through one at a time during the orientation session, and i was very i

that is when i made the basic decision that wanted to go back home to wyoming. if i was to run for office, that was the place to do it. that was home. in that spring, since school was out, we loaded up the u- haul truck and hauled home to wyoming. that fall, a few months later, the incumbent congressman announced his retirement and surprised everybody. we thought he was going to run for reelection. but he did not. that was my opening, and i jumped in and won a tough three-way primary and won the general election. less than two years after i left, i was back here as a freshman congressman from wyoming. >> there is a story about you running for reelection and one of your constituents did not know who you are. >> well, that happened on more than one occasion. i am trying to remember which -- >> they said -- >> well, my favorite story was -- had to do with a fellow down in torrington, a house painter. this is one of the guys who runs all the time anyway and never wins anything. he actually ran his dog one year. that was an insult, by the way, when he ran at the dog.

wyoming is the smallest state in terms of population. we only have three electoral votes. of course, it turned out in the election of 2000 those three electoral votes were the difference between victory and defeat, but that wasn't ordinarily the case. i didn't have any special appeal in terms of ethnicity or gender or there's a lot of reasons people talk about hiring vice presidents. but he decided that he wanted me, primarily because of my past experience, and i would guess also, he probably consulted with his father, that he might work for secretary of defense back in the early '90s when he was president. i think all of those things came together. >> just to go back quickly, the chief of staff, you make it a point in your book, your code name was back seat. >> right. it was. i took it as a point of honor. the secret service had given me that. and they had a dinner for me, my staff did before i left just before we turned thins over to the carters, and they gave me as a token of affection the back seat out of an old beat up junker of a car. i mean, it had rats living in it

he came a long way down in wyoming across the nebraska border. all the farm crews were out that day. and i had a guy come up to me at the barbecue, as i recall. and he asked me, he said, son, are you a democrat. i said, no sir. he said, are you a lawyer? i said, no. he said i'll vote for you. no offense, norm. >> sarah keller. >> thank you for being with us today first of all. so you served as the chief of staff in the ford white house. and then later obviously as the vice president with president george w. bush. i was wondering for you could tell us the similarity and differences between those two roles in the white house and how your position as the chief of staff helped you be are better prepared to serve as the vice president. >> that's a good question. when you're studying political science, and i came away as a student and scholar. we were trying to identify constitutional factors to look and see in each congress or presidency what they had in common. after i was involved doing it for a while, i changed my sort of my attitude in terms of wh

none of these are in the proposed area of the wind river project in wyoming. according to a 2006 gao report there was a total of $84 million in deferred maintenance for this project. at our wyoming field hearing on irrigation last april the department of interior testified that they would begin working on a long term plan to repair the deferred maintenance on indian irrigation projects. i'm wondering what has the department done since april to reduce the deferred maintenance in the wind river irrigation project. >> senator brasso, i am not prepared to address that today, but i would be happy to look into that and working with my staff get you an immediate answer to your question. >> thank you. i want to move on to law enforcement. the high priority performance goal pilot project was implemented on the wind river reservation in wyoming to decrease violent crime rate, the goal was 5% over two years. yet after the two years the violent crime rates on the wind river reservation has increased by 7%. i underthere was an overall downward trend so some success in the

montana wyoming colorado new mexico utah the boom is happening all over the country there is oil and gas operations in thirty two states right now but the rocky mountain states are really seeing the vast majority of the expansion. and it's overflowing into communities where people are seeing this right in their backyards. but i'll show you her they wanted to put this location one of the first places that they wanted to put it right from the surprise you say we have to put it well out there you don't have in city. a splitter state situation is when somebody who the surface of their land does not own the resources that are underneath it really for example oil and gas or other minerals a private person could own a house with land and the federal government or another private individual might on the resources under it the person who owns that oil and gas has rights to access at oil and gas which means that whoever owns the surface probably can't control what

we'll welcome senator john barrasso, republican from wyoming when mr. barrasso gets strapped in. you know, jartd, we've gone round and round on this and probably will again. all i'm going to say to you is when you cut through all the fog about the buffett tax, this is a backdoor way of raising the capital gains and dividends tax, namely stock market taxes, from 15% to 30% among the most successful investors. and i don't see how that is going to help, a, the market, or b, the economy. >> look, it's a fair point. but i can explain to you how it's going to help. first of all, we need more revenue. second of all, if you look at the history of taxes on capital gains or dividends, there's times when they've been up in that 30% neighborhood and the statistical analysis very clear from the academic literature. i've done some of this myself. it shows that there's really no correlation between the investment and these marginal tax rates. what you tend to see, larry, is is when you start messing around with favorable tax rates, all of a sudden that kind of income gets defined and you have t

wyoming is outvoted 53-1. and the united states' senate, there are two senators from california, and there are two senators from wyoming. so this is a tremendous disparity of -- in population. half of the population in the united states lives in ten states. they have 20 senators. the other half of the population lives in 40 states, and they have 80 senators. so a majority of the senators actually represent a very small minority of the population in the united states. so by definition, the u.s. senate has never been a majorititarian body. it operates differently from the -- from the house of representatives, and part of that is that the size of the two bodies require different things. the constitution is a very thin document. my students used to complain, because the first week i was teaching, i would always make my class read the entire text of the constitution. and they would complain bitterly. and i would say, you're lucky we're not studying any one of the states, because all of the state constitutions are h

that is when i made the basic decision that wanted to go back home to wyoming. if i was to run for office, that was the place to do it. that was home. in that spring, since school was out, we loaded up the u-haul truck and hauled home to wyoming. that fall, a few months later, the incumbent congressmen announced his retirement and surprised everybody. we thought he was going to run for reelection. but he did not. that was my opening, and i jumped in and won a tough three- way primary and won the general election. less than two years after i left, i was back here as a freshman congressman from wyoming. >> there is a story about you running for reelection and one of your constituents did not know who you are. >> well, that happened on more than one occasion. i am trying to remember which -- >> they said -- >> well, my favorite story was -- had to do with a fellow down in torrington, a house painter. this is one of the guys who runs all the time anyway and never wins anything. he actually ran his dog one year. that was an insult, by the way, when he ran at the dog.

in wyoming, that would be a really big business. my definition of a small business is where the owner of the business has to sweep the sidewalks, clean the toilets, do the accounting and wait on customers, and definitely not in that order. so those day-to-day responsibilities to keep the business competitive take a lot of time, and given such a demanding schedule, it takes time for a small business owner to fully understand the pros and cons of union station. -- of unionization. it takes even longer for a small business owner to communicate these points to their employees. ambush elections make it logistically impossible for small business owners to fully discuss the effects of unionization with their employees, partly because they won't even know what those effects are and neither will their employees. a union organizing campaign does not begin on the day an employer receives a petition for representation. it typically starts months or even years before when professional union organizers start conveying their side of the story to t

i've heard from a lot of people in wyoming about the national debt, the lack of budget resolution. they've shared different ideas and opinions about what solutions we should focus on, but one message is universal. do something, and do it now. this message should resonate with all of us and galvanize us to come to the table and do what we were sent here to accomplish. instead, it looks like we'll end today with more talk and no action. i repeat the house republicans at least did a budget and voted on it. senate and house democrats chastised them for the budget. senator toomey has a budget that balances in eight years that he's ready to vote on. here we are today without a voteable plan from the senate democrats. it's too bad. i'm ready to put in the work necessary to pass a budget and get our country on a fiscal path. unfortunately, it doesn't look like we have the opportunity to do that work today. i hope we do in the near future. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, senator. senator crapo is recognized for a statement. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. i want to say at the o

the presiding officer: the senator from wyoming. mr. enzi: we're having an interesting duel of the statistics here because to take care of the 10% that the senator from iowa says have a problem, we're going to turn the other 90% on their head, and it also doesn't surprise me that the president has put out a statement of policy, a s.a.p. -- i always thought those were pretty aptly named -- but that would be opposed. as i just explained, this is a regulation written by the administration, so i would expect that the administration would not like it and would veto it. there has only been one congressional review action that has succeeded. that was the rule on ergonomics. what happened was they rushed through a 50-day regulation, and the -- in the department of labor, and then we had a change of presidents, and the other president didn't like it so he was willing to sign the congressional review act. this is not a waste of time. this is an important action. it's to warn boards that the ones that make the rules and the laws are congress, and

there's no state that's even close to wyoming.resting that this state is isolated as having significantly lower price. >> there are other states in that part of the country where the price of fuel is substantially less than it is in the most expensive state. that differential in the price of crude translates to about 50 cents difference in the price of a gallon of gas. if you add to that the tax in wyoming is half the rate of the tax in chicago, you find another 30 cents. so now you're up to 80 cents of the difference explained. it probably costs less to deliver fuel to wyoming because it's coming from places that are closer to it. that contributes. and then it costs less to do business in wyoming in all likelihood than it does in chicago. if you think about the margins that are required to operate that gas station in chicago, they're higher. so you can probably explain pretty closely at least $1 out of that $1.15 difference. >> bob, we got to run. thank you so much. i'm curious, before you go, if i am a triple a member, where do

the presiding officer: the senator from wyoming. mr. enzi: i'd yield eight minutes to the senator from south dakota. the presiding officer: the senator from south dakota. mr. thune: thank you. i commend the senator from wyoming for his great work on this subject. as americans know firsthand mr. president, we continue to struggle with an economy that's not performing well or meeting the needs of workers. the unemployment rate remains about 8%, as has been the case for the last 38 months. much of this can be attributed to a lack of certainty on the part of employers. one need look no further than the regulatory policies being pushed by this administration to understand why job creators are not creating jobs. in 2011, the technically independent national labor relations board published the final rule on representation case procedures better known as the ambush elections rule. this new rule could allow a union to organize an election in as little as 10 days. this new rule is the most drastic and sweeping modification to the union election p
