What They Spoke On

A joint resolution carries most of Smith's indexed remarks at nine, far ahead of anything else. A consolidated appropriations act and a border bill follow at two each. Single remarks reach further, taking in Social Security.

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 Tina Smith as speaking in 70 items of business across 37 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.
