                          Los Angeles Protests

  Mr. SCHATZ. Mr. President, if you heard the leader of a foreign 
country was sending armed soldiers into his own cities, you would 
correctly call it authoritarian behavior. If you heard them say that 
the bar for unleashing troops on their own civilians is ``What I think 
it is,'' you would put them in a long line of dictators throughout 
history and the world. The fact that this is happening right here in 
the United States against fellow citizens at the direction of the 
President does not make it less dangerous.
