Summary

Official CRS summary

This resolution condemns the practice of wrongfully detaining Americans in order to threaten American sovereignty and recognizes August 19, 2014, as a solemn remembrance of this national security threat. (The American journalist James Wright Foley was killed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria [ISIS] on August 19, 2014.)
