H. CON. RES. 440
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the Government of Mexico should
adhere to the terms of the 1944 Utilization of Waters of the Colorado
and Tijuana Rivers and of the Rio Grande Treaty Between the United
States and Mexico.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 31, 2000
Mr. BONILLA (for himself and Mr. ORTIZ) submitted the following concurrent
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on International Relations
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the Government
of Mexico should adhere to the terms of the 1944 Utiliza-
tion of Waters of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and
of the Rio Grande Treaty Between the United States
and Mexico.
Whereas the United States and Mexico signed a treaty on
water utilization on February 3, 1944, to divide the wa-
ters of the Rio Grande and Colorado River systems;
Whereas the treaty required Mexico to deliver a minimum of
350,000 acre feet of water per year on a 5-year average
from 6 Mexican tributaries;
•HCON 440 IH
Whereas the treaty required the United States to deliver a
minimum of 1,500,000 acre feet of water per year from
the Colorado River;
Whereas the United States has never failed to meet its obli-
gations under the treaty;
Whereas during the period of 1992–1997, Mexico failed to
meet its obligations under the treaty by 1,024,000 acre
feet;
Whereas a recent study conducted by the Texas A&M Univer-
sity Agriculture Program has determined the economic
impact to south Texas from this water loss due to non-
compliance with the treaty at $441,000,000 per year; and
Whereas the Government of Mexico has not presented any
plan to repay its entire water debt as required by the
treaty: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) the President of the United States should
promptly utilize the full powers of his office to bring
about compliance with the 1944 treaty on water uti-
lization in order that the full requirement of water
be available for United States use during the next
full crop season; and
(2) the United States Section of the Inter-
national Boundary and Water Commission should
work to bring about full compliance with the 1944
treaty on water utilization and not accept any water

debt or deficit repayment plan that does not provide
for the full repayment of water owed.

Expressing the sense of Congress concerning the investigation into the
terrorist attack on the U.S.S. COLE on October 12, 2000.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
NOVEMBER 13, 2000
Mr. RILEY submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on International Relations
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress concerning the investiga-
tion into the terrorist attack on the U.S.S. COLE on
October 12, 2000.
Whereas on October 12, 2000, 17 United States Navy sailors
aboard the guided missile destroyer U.S.S. COLE
(DDG–67) were killed by terrorists while their ship was
being refueled in the Aden harbor in Yemen;
Whereas United States and Yemeni security forces and intel-
ligence and law enforcement officials have been working
together since the attack to investigate and apprehend
those responsible;
Whereas numerous United States officials have joined Presi-
dent Clinton in condemning this attack and have com-
mitted their total support to bringing all of those involved
to justice;
•HCON 441 IH
Whereas both the House of Representatives and the Senate
have voted unanimously to condemn the attack; and
Whereas recent news accounts and official statements have
brought into serious question the level of cooperation
being afforded to United States investigators by the Yem-
eni Government: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that—
(1) the Government of Yemen should give
United States investigators complete and unfettered
access to fully investigate and question any and all
suspects in the October 12, 2000, terrorist attack on
the guided missile destroyer U.S.S. COLE (DDG–
67) while that ship was being refueled in the Aden
harbor in Yemen, including access to any Yemeni
Government officials suspected of having played a
role in that attack; and
(2) the President and senior administration of-
ficials leading the United States investigation of that
attack should use whatever means are necessary to
guarantee that investigators of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation have access to the information and
people they need to bring to justice everyone in-
volved in the attack on the U.S.S. COLE.

Expressing the sense of the Congress that the States should adopt uniform
voting procedures to carry out the election of the President and Vice
President.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
DECEMBER 15, 2000
Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas submitted the following concurrent resolution;
which was referred to the Committee on House Administration
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the States should
adopt uniform voting procedures to carry out the election
of the President and Vice President.
Whereas despite Federal efforts to increase uniformity in vot-
ing procedures for elections for Federal office, there re-
mains much variation in such procedures among the
States;
Whereas a major goal of the National Voter Registration Act
of 1993 (commonly known as the ‘‘Motor-Voter Act’’)
was the standardization of voter registration procedures
for elections for Federal office to prevent voter fraud and
provide an accurate list of eligible voters;
Whereas under the provisions of the Uniformed and Overseas
Citizens Absentee Voting Act, absent uniformed services
•HCON 447 IH
voters and overseas voters can vote by absentee ballot in
elections for Federal office and, if a State does not pro-
vide an official State absentee ballot in response to a
timely request, can write in the names of candidates on
a Federal write-in absentee ballot;
Whereas in North Dakota and in some counties in Wisconsin,
individuals may vote without registering;
Whereas individuals in Idaho, New Hampshire, Maine, Min-
nesota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming may register to vote on
the day of the election;
Whereas the duration of the residency requirement for voter
registration varies from State to State from 1 to 30 days;
Whereas in 7 States disability or illness does not provide suf-
ficient grounds for registering as an absentee voter, and
in 4 States disability or illness does not provide sufficient
grounds for voting as an absentee;
Whereas a few States allow any citizen who is out of the
United States or the State to register as an absentee
voter;
Whereas at least 7 different types of voting equipment are
used to carry out Presidential elections throughout the
United States, and the type of equipment used is deter-
mined on the county level; and
Whereas the opening time for polling places in Federal elec-
tions varies from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., and the closing
time for such polling places varies from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00
p.m.: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
States should adopt uniform procedures to carry out the
•HCON 447 IH
election of the President and Vice President, including
uniform procedures for voter registration, absentee voting,
early voting, and voting hours on the day of the election.
