Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I wanted to follow up on what Mr. Dewar brought up about the goal or the interest being degrading ISIL. I'm just wondering if you can tell us a little bit about the impact of ISIL in the area. They had made some threats in Egypt and towards Jordan and had put some pressure on Lebanon. I'm wondering if you can give us an update on whether their influence is growing or diminishing. What threat do they or their groups hold over those nations right now?
