Bill Summary
RESOLUTION Expressing support for the diplomatic relations required to encourage the Government of Mexico to fulfill its water deliveries on an annual basis to the United States under the treaty between the United States and Mexico regarding the utilization of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and of the Rio Grande.
AI Summary
This Resolution expresses the support of the House of Representatives for diplomatic efforts to ensure Mexico meets its annual water delivery obligations to the United States under a 1944 treaty concerning the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and the Rio Grande. The treaty requires Mexico to deliver an average of at least 350,000 acre-feet of water annually to the U.S. over a five-year cycle, but Mexico has often delayed these deliveries until the end of the cycle, leading to water shortages for farmers in south Texas. The Resolution encourages Mexico to fulfill these commitments on a yearly basis, supports negotiations for a "Minute" (a formal agreement or understanding related to the treaty) to ensure more predictable water deliveries, and calls for new commitments to guarantee the U.S. receives its annual share of at least 350,000 acre-feet of water.
