May want to install scrapy as a project dependency (https://scrapy.org/), and add the SOA scraper as a task, storing the statement (pdf) along with the link text, which includes the number of the bill.

I have downloaded these and committed the pdfs in https://github.com/aih/FlatGov/tree/issue/82-statements-admin-policy.
See https://github.com/aih/FlatGov/tree/issue/82-statements-admin-policy/scrapers/statementAdminPolicy/statementAdminPolicy/pdf

I also scraped much of the whole whitehouse website with wget, before being blocked by 403 (forbidden) errors.
