What They Spoke On

Only one heading repeats in Boozman's indexed remarks, and it is procedural. Everything else appears once, much of it honoring service members and former members of the Senate community.

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 John Boozman as speaking in 81 items of business across 47 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.
