Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that no change in
the water level of Lake Powell is justified or appropriate.

mittee on Resources
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
no change in the water level of Lake Powell is justified
or appropriate.
Whereas Glen Canyon Dam was completed in 1963 and over
the next 14 years created Lake Powell in southern Utah
and northern Arizona;
Whereas Lake Powell is 186 miles long and has 1,960 miles
of shoreline;
Whereas Lake Powell and the surrounding Glen Canyon Na-
tional Recreation Area host nearly 3,000,000 visitors an-
nually from every State and numerous foreign countries,
•HRES 380 IH
and generate nearly $500,000,000 a year in tourism rev-
enues;
Whereas more than 400,000 boat launches are made annually
on Lake Powell by recreational visitors;
Whereas the power plant at Glen Canyon Dam provides a
total output capacity of 1,288,000 kilowatts, enough elec-
tricity for more than 400,000 households, and generates
revenues of approximately $100,000,000 per year;
Whereas Lake Powell provides water for steam generation
and cooling to the Navajo Generating Station, a
2,250,000 kilowatt power plant;
Whereas Lake Powell’s waters support a diverse fishery of
striped bass, small-mouth and large-mouth bass, black
crappie, sunfish, walleye, threadfin shad, trout, and nu-
merous other species;
Whereas numerous bird species, including the bald eagle, the
peregrine falcon, grebes, gulls, terns, and others inhabit
the Lake Powell area primarily because of the abundant
availability of fish; and
Whereas proposals are currently being made to drain Lake
Powell: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) Lake Powell is a tremendous national and
regional resource that provides recreational opportu-
nities, water storage, power capacity, and wildlife
habitat for numerous fish and bird species;
(2) significant changes in the water level of
Lake Powell would adversely affect those resources,
•HRES 380 IH
the communities surrounding Lake Powell, and
users of Lake Powell; and
(3) no change in the water level of Lake Powell
is justified or appropriate.

In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
September 15, 1998.
Whereas under the Extradition Treaty Between the United
States of America and the United Mexican States, Mex-
ico refused to extradite murder suspect and U.S. citizen
Jose Luis Del Toro to the United States until the State
of Florida agreed not to exercise its right to seek capital
punishment in its criminal prosecution of him;
Whereas under the Extradition Treaty Mexico has refused to
extradite other suspects of capital crimes; and
Whereas the Extradition Treaty interferes with the justice
system of the United States and encourages criminals to
flee to Mexico: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Represent-
atives that the President should renegotiate the Extradition
Treaty Between the United States of America and the United
Mexican States, signed in Mexico City in 1978 (31 U.S.T.
5059), so that the possibility of capital punishment will not
