WASHINGTON-- Sen. George Voinovich said Tuesday he will vote against legislation that would mandate a withdrawal of most U.S. troops from Iraq by April 30, 2008.

Voinovich, R-Ohio, who sent a letter to President Bush in late June urging a withdrawal of U.S. troops from the region, will vote against that bill because he deemed the withdrawal "too precipitous," according to Voinovich spokesman Chris Paulitz.
