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

  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam 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, 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. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I urge the Speaker and 
Majority Leader to immediately schedule a vote to protect born-alive 
infants of failed abortions.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has not been recognized for 
debate.
