Defense appropriations account for 14 of Calvert's indexed remarks, far ahead of anything else, with a consolidated appropriations act at three. Everything else appears once, taking in a river conservation bill and a tribute to a skydiving champion.

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 Ken Calvert as speaking in 38 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.
