Once the Presidio flood-control agreement is reached, the Commissioner can build and run the flood-control works described in the Commission's Presidio Valley report, and Congress may fund them. No money can be spent on land, sites, or easements unless they were acquired under the treaty for other purposes or donated with title approved under Attorney General rules.

If an agreement is reached under section 277d–41, the Commissioner may build, operate, and maintain flood-control works in the United States, matching those described in the "Report on the Flood Control Project Rio Grande, Presidio Valley, Texas," prepared by the U.S. section of the Commission. Congress may appropriate money to the State Department, for the U.S. section, to carry out title II of the Act. No money from any such appropriation can be spent on flood-control works on land, a site, or an easement unless that land was already acquired under the treaty for another purpose, or was donated with title approved under the Attorney General's existing rules.
