    The President of the United States is authorized and requested to 
enter into negotiations with the Governments of Canada and Mexico to 
determine:
        (1) the need for intergovernmental understandings, agreements, 
    or treaties to protect the interests of the people of Canada, 
    Mexico, and the United States and of any party or parties involved 
    with the construction or operation of deepwater ports; and
        (2) the desirability of undertaking joint studies and 
    investigations designed to insure protection of the environment and 
    to eliminate any legal and regulatory uncertainty, to assure that 
    the interests of the people of Canada, Mexico, and the United States 
    are adequately met.

The President shall report to the Congress the actions taken, the 
progress achieved, the areas of disagreement, and the matters about 
which more information is needed, together with his recommendations for 
further action.
