It succinctly sets forth what I believe is the overwhelming sentiment of the Members of the House. and indeed. the American people. that the Soviet presence in Afghanistan over 100.000 Soviet troops. is offensive and should be withdrawn. The President has the full support of the House in his efforts to put forward this position and to work for a peaceful solution to the problems of Afghanistan. Such a resolution should include the complete withdrawal of all foreign troops. the restoration of Afghanistans nonaligned and independent status. selfdetermination for the Afghan people. and the safe return of Afghan refugees to their homes.
