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

  Mr. WESTERMAN. 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 (Mrs. Lawrence). 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. WESTERMAN. Madam Speaker, I urge the Speaker to immediately 
schedule this important bill to protect innocent lives, and I urge my 
colleagues to join me in this.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is not recognized for debate.
