HR 7468 United States House · 118th Congress

To ensure that United States diplomats and officials of the U.S. Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission are able to advance efforts seeking compliance by the United Mexican States with the 1944 Treaty on Utilization of Waters of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and of the Rio Grande.

This bill directs the Secretary of State to actively use U.S. diplomatic resources, including the voice and influence of U.S. diplomats and officials at the International Boundary and Water Commission, to advance efforts ensuring Mexico complies with the 1944 water treaty. It requires U.S. officials to work toward establishing reliable water delivery agreements under the treaty for the Colorado, Tijuana, and Rio Grande rivers. The key mechanism is mandating diplomatic engagement to address Mexico's compliance with treaty obligations, aiming to secure predictable water flows for U.S. users. The bill affects U.S. diplomatic operations and water management coordination with Mexico, focusing on treaty implementation rather than new water infrastructure.
