       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. ___. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING CLIMATE CHANGE.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) Congress is in agreement with the opinion of virtually 
     the entire worldwide scientific community and a growing 
     number of top national security experts, economists, and 
     others that--
       (A) climate change is real;
       (B) human activities contribute to climate change; and
       (C) climate change has already begun to cause problems in 
     the United States and around the world;
       (2) the Energy Information Administration projects that 
     fossil fuels could continue to produce 68 percent of the 
     electricity in the United States through 2040; and
       (3) it is imperative that the United States invest in 
     research and development for clean fossil fuel technology.
                                 ______

     manufactured in the United States, TransCanada Keystone 
     Pipeline, L.P. shall certify that no such steel is available 
     for purchase'' before the period.
                                 ______
                                 
  SA 147. Mrs. SHAHEEN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed 
to amendment SA 2 proposed by Ms. Murkowski (for herself, Mr. Hoeven, 
Mr. Barrasso, Mr. Risch, Mr. Lee, Mr. Flake, Mr. Daines, Mr. Manchin, 
Mr. Cassidy, Mr. Gardner, Mr. Portman, Mr. Alexander, and Mrs. Capito) 
to the bill S. 1, to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline; which was 
ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       After section 2, insert the following:

     SECTION __. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING GREEN BUILDING 
                   PROGRAMS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) The U.S. building sector consumes nearly 40 percent of 
     the nation's energy.
       (2) Investments in building efficiency are among the most 
     cost-effective, energy-saving measures the federal government 
     can deploy to save money for taxpayers, families and 
     businesses, grow the domestic economy, create jobs, reduce 
     emissions and make the United States more energy secure.
       i. The State Energy Program converts every dollar of 
     federal finding into $7.22 in energy cost savings, according 
     to a study by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The study also 
     found that for every $1 of State Energy Program federal 
     funding, the program leverages $10.71 in state and non-
     federal funds.
       ii. The Weatherization Assistance Program saves low-income 
     families up to 22.9 percent on their home energy costs.
       iii. From 2009 to 2011, the Federal Energy Management 
     Program arranged energy savings performance contracts that 
     leveraged almost $1.2 billion in private-sector investment to 
     save the federal government and taxpayers more than $3.5 
     billion in energy and water costs.
       iv. A 2012 analysis of federal appliance and equipment 
     efficiency standards prepared by the American Council for an 
     Energy Efficient Economy and the Appliance Standards 
     Awareness Project found that federal efficiency standards 
     already established would save consumers about $27 billion in 
     2010, increasing to $61 billion in 2025.
       (3) Federal building energy efficiency programs related to 
     the construction and operations and maintenance of buildings 
     play a key role in cost-effectively reducing energy and water 
     waste in both the private and public sector.
       (4) Reducing energy and water use in buildings requires a 
     network of federal programs that strategically target 
     different segments of the diverse building sector and use a 
     variety of approaches.
       (5) The Government Accountability Office report, entitled 
     ``2012 Annual Report: Opportunities to Reduce Duplication, 
     Overlap and Fragmentation, Achieve Savings, and Enhance 
     Revenue'' recommends enhanced coordination between agencies 
     to increase effectiveness of complimentary programs. This 
     report did not find any specific instances of program 
     duplication and it did not recommend the elimination of any 
     green building programs.
       (b) Sense of Congress--It is the sense of Congress that--
       1. The federal government successfully employs a variety of 
     federal green building programs to address the complex 
     challenge of reducing energy and water waste in buildings.
       2. Federal green building programs save U.S. families, 
     taxpayers and businesses energy and money, boost domestic job 
     creation and strengthen the U.S. economy.
       3. The federal government should encourage enhanced 
     coordination between agencies, State and local governments, 
     tribes and the private-sector to increase continued 
     effectiveness and avoid unnecessary duplication of federal 
     green building programs.
                                 ______

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. __. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF THE SENATE.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
       (1) The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (referred 
     to in this section as ``LIHEAP'') is the main Federal program 
     that helps low-income households and senior citizens with 
     their energy bills, providing vital assistance during both 
     the cold winter and hot summer months.
       (2) Recipients of LIHEAP assistance are among the most 
     vulnerable individuals in the country, with about 90 percent 
     of LIHEAP households having at least one member who is a 
     child, a senior citizen, or disabled, and approximately 20 
     percent of LIHEAP households including at least one veteran.
       (3) The number of households eligible for LIHEAP assistance 
     continues to exceed available funding, with current funding 
     reaching just 20 percent of the eligible population.
       (4) The average LIHEAP grant covers just a fraction of home 
     energy costs, leaving many low-income families and senior 
     citizens struggling to pay their energy bills and with fewer 
     resources available to meet other essential needs.
       (5) Access to affordable home energy is a matter of health 
     and safety for many low-income households, children, senior 
     citizens, individuals with disabilities, and veterans.
       (6) Funding LIHEAP at $4,700,000,000 annually would ensure 
     that more low-income households, households with children, 
     senior citizens, individuals with disabilities, and veterans 
     can meet basic home energy needs.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that LIHEAP should be funded at not less than $4,700,000,000 
     annually.
       (c) Date of Enactment.--This section takes effect on the 
     day after the date of enactment of this Act.
                                 ______

     Act, the Administrator of the Energy Information 
     Administration, in coordination with the Director of National 
     Intelligence, shall submit to the appropriate committees of 
     Congress a report that assesses--
       (1) whether potential, continued, or growing instability in 
     Yemen, Venezuela, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and other energy-
     producing countries is likely to impact world oil and natural 
     gas production during the 20-year period beginning on the 
     date of enactment of this Act; and
       (2) whether the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline 
     would reduce the projected dependence of the United States on 
     oil and natural gas from any of the countries described in 
     paragraph (1) or the regions in which those countries are 
     located.

                   IMPACT FINDINGS OF THE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE 
                   PROJECT.

       It is the sense of Congress that Congress is in agreement 
     with the following findings of the Final Supplemental 
     Environmental Impact Statement issued by the Secretary of 
     State for the Keystone XL Project (referred to in this 
     section as the ``FSEIS''):

[[Page 1139]]

       (1) ``The analyses of potential impacts associated with 
     construction and normal operation of the proposed Project 
     suggest that significant impacts to most resources are not 
     expected along the proposed Project route'' (FSEIS page 4.16-
     1, section 4.16).
       (2) ``The total annual GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions 
     (direct and indirect) attributed to the No Action scenarios 
     range from 28 to 42 percent greater than for the proposed 
     Project'' (FSEIS page ES-34, section ES.5.4.2).
       (3) ``. . . approval or denial of any one crude oil 
     transport project, including the proposed Project, is 
     unlikely to significantly impact the rate of extraction in 
     the oil sands or the continued demand for heavy crude oil at 
     refineries in the United States based on expected oil prices, 
     oil-sands supply costs, transport costs, and supply-demand 
     scenarios'' (FSEIS page ES-16, section ES.4.1.1).

       It is the sense of the Senate that Congress should--
       (1) reject efforts to impose economy-wide taxes, fees, 
     mandates, or regulations that will--
       (A) increase the cost of energy for families and businesses 
     of the United States; or
       (B) destroy jobs; and

     supplies that are more abundant, affordable, clean, diverse, 
     and secure.

     limitation described in paragraph (1) if--
       (A) the President determines that a waiver is in the

     countries hostile to the interests of the United States or 
     with political and economic instability that compromises 
     energy supply security; and

     nation, President Obama has made no similar effort to provide 
     financial assistance to the residents of the United States 
     Arctic region, even though many of those communities have 
     opportunities for adaptation projects;
       (6) similar opportunities for adaptation projects exist

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) President Obama has committed $3,000,000,000 from the 
     United States to the Green Climate Fund of the United Nations 
     Framework Convention on Climate Change;
       (2) any payments the United States ultimately makes to the 
     Green Climate Fund will be redistributed to finance 
     adaptation and mitigation efforts in developing countries 
     that are parties to the Convention;
       (3) none of the eligible developing country parties to the 
     Convention is an Arctic nation;
       (4) the residents of the Arctic, many of whom represent 
     vibrant indigenous and traditional cultures, too often face 
     social and economic challenges that rival those in developing 
     countries;
       (5) despite the fact that the United States is an Arctic 
     nation, President Obama has made no similar effort to provide 
     financial assistance to the residents of the United States 
     Arctic region, even though many of those communities have 
     opportunities for adaptation projects;
       (6) similar opportunities for adaptation projects exist 
     across rural communities in the United States;
       (7) the United States should prioritize adaptation projects 
     in the United States Arctic region and rural communities 
     before allocating any taxpayer dollars to the Green Climate 
     Fund; and
       (8) to the extent that Congress appropriates any taxpayer 
     dollars for adaptation, those funds should first be applied 
     to known and anticipated adaptation needs of communities 
     within the United States.
