  SA 6343. Mr. VAN HOLLEN submitted an amendment intended to be 
proposed to amendment SA 5499 submitted by Mr. Reed (for himself and 
Mr. Inhofe) and intended to be proposed to the bill H.R. 7900, to 
authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2023 for military activities 
of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and for 
defense activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe military 
personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes; which 
was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:
        At the end of subtitle F of title XII, add the following:

     SEC. 1276. REPORT ON ONGOING THREAT POSED BY ISIS.

       (a) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the United States should acknowledge the vital role 
     that the Syrian Democratic Forces, which is a United States 
     ally, have played in the fight to defeat ISIS and administer 
     territory previously controlled by ISIS;
       (2) radicalization within the al-Hol camp provides fuel for 
     a potential resurgence of ISIS and poses a threat to the 
     region;
       (3) Turkish military operations against the Syrian 
     Democratic Forces in Syria risk further destabilization and 
     threaten innocent civilians; and
       (4) the United States should use its good offices to stop 
     Turkish shelling and other military operations in the 
     northeast region of Syria.
       (b) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense and the 
     Secretary of State shall jointly provide a report to Congress 
     on the ongoing threat posed by ISIS in Syria and Iraq and the 
     administration's strategy for--
       (1) supporting the Syrian Democratic Forces and preventing 
     an ISIS resurgence;
       (2) responding to deteriorating conditions and 
     radicalization within the al-Hol camp;
       (3) responding to shelling and other military operations by 
     Turkish forces in northeastern Syria against the Syrian 
     Democratic Forces; and
       (4) protecting the gains made since 2014 in the fight 
     against ISIS.
