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

  Mr. WATKINS. Mr. 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 (Mr. Butterfield). 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. WATKINS. Mr. Speaker, if this unanimous consent request cannot be 
entertained, I urge the Speaker and the majority leader to immediately 
schedule a vote on the born-alive bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is not recognized for debate.
