Congressional Reps Boost Iraq Exit Plan
Dear Madtom: In a tele-conference last week, two Massachusetts congressmen and a representative of a third lent their support to a blueprint for withdrawing from Iraq "quickly, carefully, and generously". The report outlines 25 initiatives that the United States can take to reduce the potential for communal violence and regional instability after US troops exit Iraq.
"The Necessary Steps for a Responsible Withdrawal from Iraq" – see it here:

Rep. James McGovern (MA-03), who wrote the preface, said the report provides "a road map for the next administration and Congress to follow". According to McGovern, the report outlines "what it would take to leave – what is required in terms of a cease-fire, reconciliation, recovery and security when the day comes for our troops to begin coming home."
The report was authored by a Massachusetts- and Washington-based "task force" working with an advisory group of 14 international experts. These met together in a March workshop at Harvard University’s Weatherhead Center for International Affairs.
We welcome reviews and commentary on the Task Force findings.
Sincerely, Charles Knight, Project on Defense Alternatives, Commonwealth Institute, for the Task Force Organizing Committee.
