                ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. With respect to a unanimous-consent request 
entered earlier today, the Chair would clarify that, under clause 7 of 
rule XII, a request to remove the name of a cosponsor cannot be 
entertained after the final committee authorized to consider the 
measure reports it to the House or is discharged from its 
consideration.
  H.R. 1797 is currently on the Union Calendar and any request to 
remove a cosponsor at this point may not be entertained.
