Condemning the Government of Mexico for failing 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.
HRES 71 is a symbolic House resolution condemning Mexico for not meeting annual water delivery obligations to the U.S. under the 1944 U.S.-Mexico treaty governing the Colorado, Tijuana, and Rio Grande rivers. The resolution specifically states that the House "condemns the Government of Mexico for failing to fulfill its water deliveries" as required by the treaty. It does not impose new requirements or penalties but serves as a formal expression of disapproval. This resolution directly addresses the U.S. government's position regarding Mexico's compliance with the existing treaty terms. As a procedural resolution, it has no binding legal effect on water delivery operations.
