00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.500
We had to stay on top of what was going on. 

2
00:00:04.500 --> 00:00:08.000
Because many of the calls would be from Congressmen, 

3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:11.500
or a Congressmen's office, saying, "What's going on, on the floor? 

4
00:00:11.500 --> 00:00:15.000
Are there any votes going to be soon? 

5
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.500
Do you think there are going to be any quorum calls?" 

6
00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:21.500
They might ask what the legislation was, 

7
00:00:21.500 --> 00:00:26.700
or what stage of the bill it was. So we had to learn all the House procedure, 

8
00:00:26.700 --> 00:00:30.500
and we had to stay current on what was happening on the floor 

9
00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:33.500
so we could intelligently, hopefully, 

10
00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:39.000
answer the questions of the people who called. So that was another aspect.
