I move:

That the Senate notes the resolution put to the United States of America’s House of Representatives on 10 March 2010:

removal of united states armed forces from afghanistan

Pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1544(c)), Congress directs the President to remove the United States Armed Forces from Afghanistan—

(1)

by no later than the end of the period of 30 days beginning on the day on which this concurrent resolution is adopted; or

(2)

if the President determines that it is not safe to remove the United States Armed Forces before the end of that period, by no later than December 31, 2010, or such earlier date as the President determines that the Armed Forces can safely be removed.

Question put.

Mr Acting Deputy President McGauran, on a point of order: you described the motion about the Millewa forest as being about the ‘Victorian’ Millewa forest. I want to correct the record. That is not correct, and I do not know where you got that information from. It was a mistake from the chair, and I just want to correct the record.

So corrected.
