- 2026-08-06HONORING THE COUNCIL OF INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate the Council of International Programs on seven decades of service and excellence.

Where the Words Are
The Congressional Record marks Shontel M. Brown as speaking in 31 items of business across 26 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.
