What They Spoke On
Only one heading repeats in what Hoeven has on the record here, terminating a declared national emergency. Everything else appears once, much of it procedural requests and regulatory rollback.
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 Hoeven as speaking in 74 items of business across 30 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.
