What They Spoke On
Only one heading repeats in Barr's indexed remarks, a consumer bureau rule. Everything else appears once, much of it honoring figures in Kentucky, including its thoroughbred industry.
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.

Where the Words Are
The Congressional Record marks Andy Barr as speaking in 37 items of business across 31 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.
