What They Spoke On
Almost nothing repeats in what Baird has on the record here. Thanks to a constituent lead at three, and a heading on Indiana at two. The rest are single remarks, taking in missed votes and a letter for a time capsule.
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.
- Thanking Nick Bostic for His Courageous Actions3
- Foundational Principles Exemplified by the Hoosier State2

Where the Words Are
The Congressional Record marks James R. Baird as speaking in 46 items of business across 36 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.
