A resolution expressing support for the diplomatic relations required to encourage the Government of Mexico to fulfill water deliveries on an annual basis to the United States under the Treaty between the United States of America and Mexico respecting the utilization of waters of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and of the Rio Grande.
This resolution expresses the Senate's support for diplomatic efforts to ensure Mexico complies with a 1944 treaty requiring annual water deliveries of 350,000 acre-feet to the U.S. It addresses Mexico's repeated failure to meet this obligation, which has contributed to water shortages for farmers in south Texas. The resolution urges U.S. diplomats to work with Mexico through the International Boundary and Water Commission to secure reliable water deliveries as specified in the treaty. It does not create new legal requirements but calls for renewed diplomatic engagement to fulfill existing treaty commitments.
