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

  Mr. PALMER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee 
on the Judiciary be discharged from further consideration of H.R. 962, 
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, and 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. PALMER. Mr. Speaker, if this unanimous consent request, which 
would prevent the killing of a living child, cannot be entertained, I 
wonder what might be.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has not been recognized for 
debate.
