Only one heading repeats in what Simpson has on the record here, a commerce and justice appropriations bill at three. Everything else appears once, much of it recognizing his own retiring staff.

Where the Words Are

The Congressional Record marks Michael K. Simpson as speaking in 12 items of business across 12 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.
