       SUBCHAPTER IV--INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY AND WATER COMMISSION
 
Sec. 277f. Valley Gravity Canal and Storage Project

    The Secretary of State, with the approval of the President, shall 
designate the features of the Valley Gravity Canal and Storage Project 
which he deems international in character, and shall direct such changes 
in the general project plan as he deems advisable with respect to such 
features; and the features so designated shall be built, after 
consultation with the Bureau of Reclamation as to general design, by the 
American section of the International Boundary Commission, United States 
and Mexico, and shall be operated and maintained by said Commission 
insofar as their operation and maintenance in such manner is, in the 
opinion of the Secretary of State, necessary because of their 
international character. The construction, operation, and maintenance of 
such project shall be pursuant to the Federal reclamation laws, except 
as hereinbefore provided and except that--
        (1) In addition to the nonreimbursable allocation to flood 
    control or navigation which may be made by the Secretary of the 
    Interior under section 485h(b) of title 43, the President, after 
    consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the 
    Interior, shall allocate such part of the total estimated cost of 
    the project as he deems proper to the protection of American 
    interests from drought hazards resulting from the uncontrolled and 
    unregulated flow of the international portion of the Rio Grande 
    below Old Fort Quitman, Texas. Provisions of law applicable with 
    respect to allocations to flood control under section 485h(b) of 
    title 43, shall, insofar as they are not inconsistent with the 
    foregoing provisions, be applicable in like manner with respect to 
    any allocation made under this subparagraph; and
        (2) All revenues received by the United States in connection 
    with the construction, operation, and maintenance of such projects 
    shall be covered into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts.
