The President can appoint an official to study shared U.S.-Mexico river waters. The study covers the lower Rio Grande, Colorado, and Tijuana Rivers. Results support future treaty talks with Mexico and go to the Secretary of State.

The President can designate the American Commissioner on the International Boundary Commission, United States and Mexico — or another federal agency — to work with Mexican government representatives on a study of the fair use of water from the lower Rio Grande, the lower Colorado River, and the Tia Juana (Tijuana) River. The purpose is to gather information that could support negotiating a treaty with Mexico about using these rivers' water and related matters. Once the study is complete, the results must be reported to the Secretary of State.
