              THE UNITED STATES SHOULD WITHDRAW FROM IRAQ

  (Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, this report today from National Public 
Radio: a poll released Monday by the Gallup organizations shows that 
six in 10 Americans think the U.S. should withdraw some or all troops 
from Iraq. Support for withdrawal from Iraq is building across the 
country. And it is building in the Congress. This week, a bipartisan 
coalition of Members will come forward with a new plan for withdrawal 
from Iraq. The American people want us to withdraw from Iraq.
  It is time for us to come together, whether we supported the war or 
not, Democratic and Republicans alike, to acknowledge it is time for a 
new direction in Iraq, and that direction is out. The time has come to 
begin withdrawal from Iraq. That is what the American people want.
