REQUEST TO CONSIDER H.R. 962, BORN-ALIVE ABORTION SURVIVORS PROTECTION 
                                  ACT

  Mr. BYRNE. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on 
the Judiciary be discharged from further consideration of H.R. 962, a 
bill that would protect innocent children, the Born-Alive Abortion 
Survivors Protection Act, and ask for its immediate consideration in 
the House.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under guidelines consistently issued by 
successive Speakers, as recorded in section 956 of the House Rules and 
Manual, the Chair is constrained not to entertain the request unless it 
has been cleared by the bipartisan floor and committee leaderships.
  Mr. BYRNE. Mr. Speaker, I urge the Speaker to immediately schedule 
this important bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has not been recognized for 
debate.
