That is the sense of the Senate—
to acknowledge the importance of the Kurds’ vital role in stopping the spread of ISIS militants in the region;
that ISIS still poses a danger in the Middle East and beyond and must not be allowed the opportunity to mount an effective resurgence campaign;
that the United States Government must continue its leading role in promoting peace in the Middle East and fighting against terrorist groups such as ISIS, wherever they may be located; and
that the Department of Defense, in conjunction with the Department of State, should provide a briefing to Congress within 30 days outlining plans and a strategy to continue the global fight against ISIS, specifically addressing the ongoing threat of ISIS in Syria and Iraq and how this strategy will—
prevent an ISIS resurgence in Syria;
prevent ISIS efforts to capitalize from recent developments;
contain any ISIS expansion in Syria or in nations bordering Syria;
mitigate the threat of ISIS attacks on the United States homeland or our partners and allies; and
protect the gains made in the fight against ISIS since 2014.
