Mr. Speaker. I want to assure my colleagues as well as my friend. the gentleman from California [Mr. ROHRABACIIERJ. that the National Endowment for the Arts regulations prohibit them from providing money to illegal aliens. Their own regulations say that the awards and grants can be given only to citizens who are permanent residents. Now. it is true that the Museum for Contemporary Art in San Diego received an NEA grant. and it is true that one of their subgrantees in effect was involved in a project that handed $10 bills to people as the gentleman from California described. However. that is outside of NEA regulations. so NEA disallowed the cost of that. which was approximately $4.500. from being charged to them.
