The House could vote this week on the arming and training of Syrian rebels . Vetted elements of Syrian opposition forces could receive training to fight ISIS . Others , like Sen. Rand Paul , R-Kentucky , oppose arming the rebels out of fear the weapons will fall into the wrong hands . This could be tied to a must - pass spending bill that expires in 2019 . Congress is about to close for the midterm for campaigning .
