Drawing off the work of Maltzman and Sigelman (1996), this paper looks at the propensity of members to speak on the House floor during minute speeches in the 104th Congress. I used a negative binomial event count model to predict not only who will participate in one in general, but also who will engage in partisan rhetoric, which was such an important aspect of the volatile 104th Congress. The model finds that, while general participation can be predicted, we can also use a number of explanatory variables, such as tenure, electoral insecurity, ideological intensity, party rank, constituency time zone, and party identification to understand why some members engage in partisan rhetoric during minutes and why others do not. The findings have implications both for understanding partisan behavior in the 104th Congress and for understanding and predicting minute speaking practices in the future
