nearly one-third of Syrian territory from ISIS’ so-called 
‘‘caliphate.’’; 
Whereas, on October 6, 2019, the White House announced

planned operation into Northern Syria’’ while the 
‘‘United States Armed Forces will not support or be in-
volved in the operation, and United States forces * * *

Whereas churches, synagogues, mosques, and other religious 
organizations have played a central and invaluable role in

Whereas Congress has recognized the importance of religious

That— 
(1) the protections of freedom of conscience en-
shrined in the First Amendment to the Constitution 
of the United States remain central to the experi-

(2) government should not be in the business of

(3) any effort by the government to condition 
the receipt of the protections of the Constitution of 
the United States and the laws of the United States, 
including an exemption from taxation, on the public 
policy positions of an organization is an affront to 
the spirit and letter of the First Amendment to the
