What this amendment would do

This amendment, submitted by Mrs. Shaheen, adds a new subtitle called Reporting on Syria to bill S. 4784. Its purpose is to require the government to provide detailed reports and strategies regarding United States actions and policies in Syria.

Key Changes and Additions:

  • Foreign Assistance Reporting: It requires the Secretary of State to report on the U.S. foreign assistance strategy in Syria, including details on programs that have been paused or canceled since January 2025.

  • Detainee and Displacement Camps: It extends the reporting requirements for ISIS-related camps through January 2029 and requires assessments of efforts to facilitate the repatriation and reintegration of individuals from those camps.

  • Engagement with Syrian Authorities: It expresses the sense of Congress that the U.S. should expand engagement with Syrian authorities to address national security interests (such as combating terrorism and Captagon smuggling) and evaluate the security of the U.S. mission in Damascus for possible reopening.

  • Defeat of ISIS: It mandates a joint strategy from the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and other agencies to prevent the resurgence of ISIS. This strategy must include plans for repatriating or securing detainees, countering propaganda, and using economic sanctions to deny ISIS financial resources.
