What They Spoke On
Only one heading repeats in what Adams has on the record here, on immigration raids. Everything else appears once, much of it recognizing chancellors and historically Black colleges in North Carolina.
The business the Congressional Record printed their remarks under, counted, with the chamber's own procedure left out. It is what was before the chamber, which is not always what the member was addressing.

What Their Votes Add Up To
Measures that reached a final vote, grouped by subject. A yes here means pass the thing, which is why the count leaves out motions to recommit, to table and to proceed: on those a no can be support.

Where the Words Are
The Congressional Record marks Alma S. Adams as speaking in 12 items of business across 12 sitting days of this Congress.
Many of those appearances are procedural: yielding time, a request to revise and extend, a call for the yeas and nays. The count comes from the Record's own speaker tagging, which is not complete, so a member may have spoken more often than it shows.
