Bill summaries ML idea

billsumaries-idea.txt
One long-term idea that would be very interesting and valuable is to train a model to produce bill summaries.
The bill summaries are in XML in bulk at this site:
https://www.govinfo.gov/bulkdata/BILLSUM/117/hr
For example: https://www.govinfo.gov/bulkdata/BILLSUM/117/hr/BILLSUM-117hr1177.xml
In the `summary-text` element, within <![CDATA[ ]]>
The text itself of the bill is in `https://www.govinfo.gov/bulkdata/BILLS/117/1/hr/BILLS-117hr1177ih.xml`. Not every bill has a summary, but if there is a summary, there is a corresponding bill.
