Reps. Woolsey, Lee Introduce Troop Withdrawal Bill Bay Area Congresswomen Lynn Woolsey, D-Petaluma, and Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, were among 12 House members who introduced a bill on January 17 to withdraw all U.S. troops and contractors from Iraq within six months.Woolsey and Lee are co-chairs of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. They said the bill is a "comprehensive alternative" to the Bush administration's proposed escalation of the war. According to Woolsey, the "Bring Our Troops Home and Sovereignty of Iraq Restoration Act of 2007" would establish a six-month time frame for withdrawal of all U.S. military forces and contractors from Iraq, provide a framework for restoring stability to Iraq and fully fund the Veterans Administration's medical system, said. Lee's office reported the bill would save at least $278.25 billion, or 17 cents on the dollar, if the troops are withdrawn in six months rather than over a two-year period.
