A resolution commemorating the tenth anniversary of the murder of James Wright Foley and calling for the moral courage to prioritize the return of Americans held captive abroad and take all necessary efforts to deter international hostage taking and arbitrary detention.

This resolution commemorates the tenth anniversary of journalist James Wright Foley's murder by ISIS in 2014 and urges the U.S. government to prioritize the safe return of Americans held captive abroad. It calls for fully resourcing existing hostage response mechanisms - including the Hostage Recovery Fusion Cell, Hostage Response Group, and Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs - to deter hostage-taking and improve coordination with allies. The resolution specifically supports strengthening efforts to secure the release of Americans wrongfully detained by foreign governments or terrorists, while acknowledging the work of families and the Foley Foundation. As a non-binding commemorative resolution, it does not create new law but emphasizes policy priorities for hostage recovery.
