Several bills have amendments that are missing fields.

https://www.gpo.gov//fdsys/bulkdata/BILLSTATUS/115/hr/BILLSTATUS-115hr5.xml:

<amendedBill>
<title>Regulatory Accountability Act of 2017</title>
<originChamber>House</originChamber>
<originChamberCode>H</originChamberCode>
</amendedBill>

amendedBill is supposed to contain congress, type, and number fields.

This change has broken the unitedstates project importer. I am getting frequent requests from journalists for accurate data on enacted laws approaching the President's 100th day, so I'd appreciate an urgent fix. And as I noted in a previous issue, it would be helpful if the XML files were validated prior to publication - such as by using the unitedstates project importer so you would know the issues I'm going to report before I report them.

Fixed in https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/bulkdata/BILLSTATUS/115/hr/BILLSTATUS-115hr5.xml and we are reprocesing other impacted files today. Using your importer as part of our regression testing is on our roadmap.
