REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION OF HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 831, PROVIDING 
          FOR RETURN OF ENROLLED BILL, H.R. 831, AND FOR ITS 
                        REENROLLMENT

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. For what purpose does the gentleman from 
Florida [Mr. Deutsch] rise?
  Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr. Speaker, for the purpose of a unanimous-consent 
request.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Florida [Mr. Deutsch] may 
proceed.
  Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr. Speaker, I move that the House do take up House 
Concurrent Resolution 55, requesting the President to return the 
enrolled bill (H.R. 831) and providing for its reenrollment without the 
targeted tax benefit contained therein. Mr. Speaker, this deals with a 
provision, a tax provision, that was put in the bill providing $63 
million to Mr. Murdoch.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. McInnis). In accord with the policy 
first announced on December 15, 1981, and applied consistently ever 
since, the Chair will confer recognition for a unanimous-consent 
request for consideration of an unreported measure only when assured 
that the majority leader, the minority leader, and the chairman and the 
ranking minority members of the committees of jurisdiction have no 
objection.
  The policy is recorded on page 527 of the House Rules Manual.


                         parliamentary inquiry

  Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr. Speaker, I have a parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state it.
  Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr. Speaker, parliamentary inquiry: Are you required to 
tell this Chamber who in fact has objected to the discretionary 
decision of the Speaker to take up this particular motion that the 
Speaker himself had said he would favor taking out but has not been 
taken out?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair is not aware of the clearance of 
the parties that are requested to be consulted.
  Mr. DEUTSCH. Again, are you required to say which particular people 
have not cleared it?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Again, the Chair is not aware that the 
necessary parties have been conferred with.
