Mike Levin: “I yield myself 1 minute, and then I will yield to Senator Kennedy. I thank the Senator from Virginia for his words.…”

“I yield myself 1 minute, and then I will yield to Senator Kennedy. I thank the Senator from Virginia for his words. There is no timetable for withdrawal in the last paragraph. I, like him, urge Members to read that paragraph. It simply says that the same type of schedule which we all agreed to in paragraph 6 should also be proposed with an estimated schedule relative to phased withdrawal if--if--the conditions which we all agree upon should be set forth in the report have been achieved. That is what it does. That is an important message. It is not a withdrawal timetable in paragraph 7, but each Member will reach their own conclusion on that. It sends an important message, but it is not the one the Senator from Virginia has characterized. I yield 5 minutes to the Senator from Massachusetts.”
