Senate committee contact info #3

Open konklone opened 11 years ago

konklone commented 11 years ago

We have phone, website, and office/address for House committees, but not Senate committees.

The website, at least, seems present on Senate.gov. Example: http://www.senate.gov/general/committee_membership/committee_memberships_SSBK.htm

Just updating for future reference: The website is in committees-current, so that leaves just phone and address.

Is this still an open issue, or was it forgotten about?

JoshData commented 10 years ago

If I recall, it's still open. If the committees-current file is missing Senate committee mailing addresses and phone numbers, it's open.

So if I wanted to update this I would fork it, commit my changes and then submit a pull request? (I am still getting used to using GitHub).

JoshData commented 10 years ago

Correct!

For things like this we try to automate it with a script that scrapes some Senate website (and commit both the script & the changes). But if you want to do it manually that's fine too.

Alright, I'll let you know what I come up with.
