senator or house member. and so this is something else that we strongly recommend. host: our guest is henry bonilla. former congressman, served in congress until 2007, representing texas. number for republicans is 202-585-3881. for democrats, 202-585-3880. and independents, 202-585-3882. wonder if you talk to us a little bit about how this report and your recommendations are being received in congress today. guest: we haven t had any strong feedback yet. sometimes it take as while for messages to get into the leadership office. the former senators that led this, this on their side have already communicated with the senate leadership but no strong reaction yet. the house side. but we re hoping that at least someone listens to us because at this point we re not aware of anyone who is put together a set of recommendations like this anywhere. so, if half of them are implemented that would beik a he success. if one or two, hey, great. butge we re realistic about this most of u
