  REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 2183, BIPARTISAN CAMPAIGN FINANCE 
                                 REFORM

  Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Speaker, in this spirit here this morning of 
bipartisan cooperation, I ask unanimous consent to take up and consider 
H.R. 2183, the bipartisan campaign finance bill that the gentleman from 
Maine [Mr. Allen] and the gentleman from Arkansas [Mr. Hutchinson] and 
all of our freshmen have joined in.
  The SPEAKER. Under the Speaker's announced guidelines, it requires 
the leaders of both parties and the chairman and ranking member of the 
committee of jurisdiction to approve that request. The gentleman is not 
recognized, but the Chair appreciates his bipartisan-spirited tone.
