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

  Mr. BARR. 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 (Mr. Danny K. Davis of Illinois). 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. BARR. Mr. Speaker, if this unanimous consent request cannot be 
entertained, I urge the Speaker and the majority leader to immediately 
schedule the born-alive bill so we can stand up and protect the 
sanctity of human life; and I would ask all others to join in this 
request.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is not recognized for debate.
