What They Spoke On
Elections run through much of Morelle's indexed remarks. Ten fall under the joint session counting electoral votes, and a foreign funds bill accounts for two more. A veterans accessibility bill follows at five, then bills on notification requirements and legislative branch agencies.
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 Joseph D. Morelle as speaking in 92 items of business across 50 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.
