109TH CONGRESS 
1ST SESSION 
H. J. RES. 73 
To redeploy U.S. forces from Iraq. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
NOVEMBER 17, 2005 
Mr. MURTHA introduced the following joint resolution; which was referred to 
the Committee on International Relations, and in addition to the Com-
mittee on Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by 
the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall with-
in the jurisdiction of the committee concerned 
JOINT RESOLUTION 
To redeploy U.S. forces from Iraq. 
Whereas Congress and the American people have not been 
shown clear, measurable progress toward establishment 
of stable and improving security in Iraq or of a stable 
and improving economy in Iraq, both of which are essen-
tial to ‘‘promote the emergence of a democratic govern-
ment’’; 
Whereas additional stabilization in Iraq by U.S. military 
forces cannot be achieved without the deployment of hun-
dreds of thousands of additional U.S. troops, which in 
turn cannot be achieved without a military draft;
HJ 73 IH 
Whereas more than $277 billion has been appropriated by the 
United States Congress to prosecute U.S. military action 
in Iraq and Afghanistan; 
Whereas, as of the drafting of this resolution, 2,079 U.S. 
troops have been killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom; 
Whereas U.S. forces have become the target of the insur-
gency; 
Whereas, according to recent polls, over 80 percent of the 
Iraqi people want the U.S. forces out of Iraq; 
Whereas polls also indicate that 45 percent of the Iraqi peo-
ple feel that the attacks on U.S. forces are justified; and 
Whereas, due to the foregoing, Congress finds it evident that 
continuing U.S. military action in Iraq is not in the best 
interests of the United States of America, the people of 
Iraq, or the Persian Gulf Region, which were cited in 
Public Law 107–243 as justification for undertaking 
such action: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
That: 
SECTION 1. The deployment of United States forces 
in Iraq, by direction of Congress, is hereby terminated and 
the forces involved are to be redeployed at the earliest 
practicable date. 
SEC. 2. A quick-reaction U.S. force and an over-the- 
horizon presence of U.S. Marines shall be deployed in the 
region.
HJ 73 IH 
SEC. 3. The United States of America shall pursue 
security and stability in Iraq through diplomacy.
