What They Spoke On
Little repeats in Alford's indexed remarks. Homeland security appropriations lead at four, then military construction appropriations and a heading on energy at two each. Most of what is indexed sits under a heading used once.
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.
- Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 20262
- Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related…2
- Taking a Step Toward True Energy Dominance2

Where the Words Are
The Congressional Record marks Mark Alford as speaking in 52 items of business across 45 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.
