Davis, who was assassinated at the New York City Council on July 23, 2003, I ask unanimous consent to bring up H.R. 1217, the bipartisan expanded background checks legislation, to honor his memory. The SPEAKER pro tempore. As previously announced, the unanimous consent request cannot be entertained.
