Things that are not getting parsed but could be if desirable

[LindsayYoung]

The following could, theoretically, be added to the Congressional Record parser:

• Foreign travel expenditure reports
• Congressional authority statements

Any feedback on whether these would be worth doing? Would there be a better source for this information? Are there any other additional documents in the Congressional Record that would be useful to parse?

Amendment text might be an excellent get - see the conversation at https://github.com/unitedstates/congress/issues/52.

Constitutional authority statements also show up on Congress.gov, e.g. go to HR 5 and click the "Constitutional Authority" link. (Though they are clearly doing this by yanking it out of the CR, there's a CR page number on the popup.)

Current version of the parser is pretty good at identifying speeches but can't pick up on much else. There's a probabilistic test in the test suite that fails and should continue to fail until all text in each record page is correctly parsed.
