  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committees 
on Energy and Commerce, Education and Labor, and Ways and Means be 
discharged from further consideration of the Senate bill (S. 3712) to 
make a technical correction in the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici 
Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008, and ask for its 
immediate consideration in the House.
  The Clerk read the title of the Senate bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from California?
  There was no objection.
