H.R. 63--A bill to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to 
    require hospitals reimbursed under the Medicare system to 
    establish and implement security procedures to reduce the 
    likelihood of infant patient abduction and baby switching, 
    including procedures for identifying all infant patients in the 
    hospital in a manner that ensures that it will be evident if 
    infants are missing from the hospital; to the Committee on Ways 
    and Means, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and 
    Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by 
    the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as 
    fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
