by him to the bill S. 1, to make improvements to certain defense and 
security assistance provisions and to authorize the appropriation of 
funds to Israel, to reauthorize the United States-Jordan Defense 
Cooperation Act of 2015, and to halt the wholesale slaughter of the 
Syrian people, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the 
table; as follows:

       In section 203(2), strike ``crisis.'' and insert the 
     following: ``crisis; and
       (3) the United States must recommit to resettling a robust 
     number of refugees to meet its share of the global need to 
     alleviate instability in countries like Jordan, which have 
     absorbed a disproportionate number of displaced people 
     fleeing the crisis in Syria, and reaffirm the responsibility 
     of the United States to resettle refugees as a key tenet of 
     foreign policy.
