                        KUCINICH'S 12-POINT PLAN

  (Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KUCINICH. The House will soon entertain a resolution relating to 
the surge. It is a nonbinding resolution. The war, however, is binding.
  The supplemental resolution relating to funding will give Congress an 
opportunity to take some binding action related to the war. Congress' 
real power is to cut off funds.
  Money is there right now to bring the troops home, and money to bring 
the troops home is part of a plan that involves bringing in 
international peacekeepers while our troops leave.
  I have a 12-point plan which I have circulated among Members of 
Congress as to how we can get out of Iraq. The American people will not 
tolerate nonbinding resolutions as being an excuse for strong and 
substantive action to end the war as quickly as possible.
