Problem:SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The terrorist organization known as the Islamic State
of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) poses a grave threat to the
people and territorial integrity of Iraq and Syria, as well as
regional stability, and to the national security interests of
the United States and its allies and partners.
(2) The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant holds
significant territory in Iraq and Syria, has stated its
intention to seize more territory, and has demonstrated the
capability to do so.
(3) Leaders of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant
have stated that they intend to conduct terrorist attacks
internationally, including against the United States, its
citizens, and its interests.
(4) The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has committed
despicable acts of violence and mass executions against
Muslims, regardless of sect, who do not subscribe to its
depraved, violent, and oppressive ideology, and has threatened
genocide and committed vicious acts of violence against
religious and ethnic minority groups, including Iraqi
Christian, Yezidi, and Turkmen populations.
(5) The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has targeted
innocent women and girls with horrific acts of violence,
including abduction, enslavement, torture, rape, and forced
marriage.
(6) According to United States intelligence estimates,
approximately 20,000 to 30,000 Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant fighters operate in Iraq and Syria, an estimated 3,000
of whom are believed to hold passports from western countries.
(7) The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant finances its
operations primarily through looting, smuggling, taxes, oil
sales, kidnapping, and human trafficking.
(8) President Barack Obama articulated five lines of effort
in the campaign to counter the Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant, including supporting regional military partners,
stopping the flow of foreign fighters, cutting off the access
of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant to financing,
addressing urgent humanitarian needs, and exposing the true
nature of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
(9) As a result of advances by the Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant in Iraq and Syria, approximately half of the
nearly 2,000,000 refugees and internally displaced people from
Syria and Iraq have taken refuge in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region
in northern Iraq.
(10) The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is the
democratically elected government of the Iraqi Kurdistan
Region, and Iraqi Kurds have been a reliable, stable, and
capable partner of the United States, particularly in support
of United States military and civilian personnel during
Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn.
(11) The Iraqi constitution guarantees the right of Iraqi
regions, such as the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, to maintain
''internal security forces for the region such as police,
security forces, and guards of the region''.
(12) The Kurdish Peshmerga forces are officially organized
under the Ministry of Peshmerga Affairs and commanded by the
Minister of Peshmerga Affairs, who reports to the President of
the Kurdistan Regional Government.
(13) The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has
positioned its forces along a 650-mile border spanning five
Iraqi provinces and engaged in attacks on Peshmerga forces
defending the border.
(14) The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has employed
captured armored vehicles, long-range artillery, and heavy
weapons in attacking Kurdish forces along the border.
(15) Kurdish Peshmerga forces have successfully retaken key
areas of Iraq formerly controlled by the Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant, including Mount Sinjar, Mosul Dam, and Kirkuk.
(16) The United States and its allies have provided the
resupply of various arms (including Hellfire missiles, anti-
tank weapons, helmets and body armor, and ammunition) and
training to Peshmerga forces since June 2014.
(17) Such resupply efforts, to comply with United States
law, must be approved and coordinated through the Government of
Iraq.
(18) Masrour Barzani, the Chancellor of the Kurdistan
Region Security Council, described Peshmerga forces as
''overstretched'' in the fight against the Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant, and Bayan Sami Abdul Rahman, the
representative of the Kurdistan Regional Government to the
United States, has expressed concern about ''shortfalls'' in
equipment.
(19) According to the Kurdistan Regional Government, more
than 1,000 Kurdish Peshmerga and Kurdish security forces have
been killed, and more than 5,000 have been wounded.
(20) A strong Peshmerga force is essential to countering
the threat of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant to Iraq,
the region, and United States interests.
