                      NO TAX DOLLARS FOR RIOTS ACT

  (Mr. KILEY of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KILEY of California. Mr. Speaker, this week I am introducing the 
No Tax Dollars for Riots Act, a bill that will assure that public 
funding is not used to create the sort of horrifying scenes that we 
just witnessed in Los Angeles.
  In the wake of the L.A. riots, we have learned that a group claiming 
nonprofit status known as CHIRLA received $34 million in State funding 
and some Federal funding, as well. This group played a central role in 
organizing the riots, providing real-time locations to the rioters of 
where Federal officers could be found. Several of these Federal 
officers were subsequently assaulted with bricks and Molotov cocktails.
  My bill will assure that an organization like this, whose officers 
are convicted of assaulting, resisting, or impeding Federal officers, 
or of organizing, promoting, encouraging, participating in, or carrying 
on a riot under sections 111 or 2101 of title 18 of the U.S. Code loses 
their nonprofit status and is ineligible for Federal funding going 
forward.
  This is a commonsense step that will prevent the sort of lawlessness 
that we saw in Los Angeles from reappearing in our State or elsewhere 
in the country.
