We helieve that it is inappropriate for <br />the U.S.A. to incur or accumulate any water debt with respect to this obligation. <br />12. To aclmowledge that Delta restoration and the Interim Surplus Guidelines are separate issues <br />and should not be linked. <br />13.

Therefore, any financial or technical <br />assistance should be opposed until such litigation is concluded. <br />14. To oppose any assistance to Mexico on Colorado River Delta issues that in any way <br />adversely impacts assistance to other endangered species recovery efforts in the U.S.A. <br />15.
