partly in the United Mexican States and flowing through the
United Mexican States and finally through the Tijuana Valley
in the County of San Diego, State of California; and
RESOLUTION NO. 5811
WHEREAS, the waters of the Tijuana River system
constitute a vital and important supply for domestic and
agricultural use, both within San Diego County, California,
and within the United Mexican States; and
WHEREAS, in the absence of international control
and apportionment between the two countries of the waters of
this system, maximum feasible development of the existing
and potential uses of the waters in both countries is not
possible; and
WHEREAS, by the terms of the 1944 Water Treaty
between the United States and the United Mexican States relating
to the utilization of waters of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers
and of the Rio Grande, it is contemplated that the two nations
would accomplish an equitable apportionment of the waters of
the Tijuana River and the construction of necessary works to
conserve and provide for the delivery of the water as so
apportioned; and
WHEREAS, it appears to this Committee that in order
to protect the needs of the citizens of the United States
supplied from this river, such equitable apportionment between
the United States and the United Mexican States should be
accomplished as expeditiously as possible and that the
works necessary for the proper conservation and distribution
of the waters should be provided for at the earliest date
possible;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council
of City of National City that the appropriate action should
be taken to equitably apportion the waters of the Tijuana
River between the United States and the United Mexican States
and to construct the necessary works, so that the citizens of
the State of California dependent thereon for both domestic
and agricultural uses may be assured of securing a fair and
reasonable portion thereof for their use; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Governor of the
State of California be requested to urge the Department of
State of the United States of America to take such action as
may be appropriate to accomplish that purpose; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Resolution be
transmitted to the Governor of the State of California with
the request that it be transmitted by him, with due formality,
to the Secretary of the Department of State and to the Com-
missioner of the United States Section of the International
Boundary and Water Commission.
