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

  Ms. CHENEY. 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.
  Ms. CHENEY. Madam Speaker, I urge the Speaker and majority leader to 
immediately schedule this bill to protect babies born alive and to stop 
blocking this most basic responsibility we have.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman is not recognized for 
debate.
