Where the Words Are

The Congressional Record marks William R. Keating as speaking in 18 items of business across 15 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.
