Presidential Statement on Agreement With Mexico to Resolve Colorado River Salinity Problems

Document: "Presidential Statement on Agreement With Mexico to Resolve Colorado River Salinity Problem", 1964 (thermofax), page 4requested promptly when Congress reconvenes in January 1965. The preliminary estimates of costs range from $3.5 to $5 million. The agreement announced today is further testimony to the firm and continuing resolvs of the United States and Mexico to approach our joint problem in a spirit of mutuality and cooperation. when this problem first arose in the fall of 1961, both governments agreed upon the objective of a physical solution if at all possible. That objective has been achieved. Like the recently concluded Chamizal nagotiations and the implementation of the Columbia River Treaty with our northern neighbor, Canada, this agreement demonstrates once again that between man of good will there is no problem, however vexing, that is incapable of fair resolution. 4Epson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 8 bit, 2,251,421 byte
