What They Spoke On
Only one heading repeats in what Kim has on the record here, a housing bill. Everything else appears once, taking in a bill on Burma and recognition of Korean cultural programs.
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.

- 2026-08-20RECOGNIZING THE KOREA FOUNDATION“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Korea Foundation for its steadfast support of the Peace Corps Korea Revisit Program. This initiative has enabled more than 500 former Peace Corps Korea Volunteers to return to the Republic of Korea and witness firsthand the extraordinary transformation achieved since their service from 1966 to 1981.”
- 2026-06-29URSULA ELLEN KENNEDY POST OFFICE BUILDING“Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 3350, to designate a post office in the city of Tustin, California, as the Ursula Ellen Kennedy Post Office Building.”
- 2026-06-23HOUSING FOR THE 21ST CENTURY ACT“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.

Where the Words Are
The Congressional Record marks Young Kim as speaking in 52 items of business across 43 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.
