bills and resolutions first go to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise
them before they go to general debate. The majority of bills and resolutions never make it out of committee.

Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. | Related: | See the Related Legislation page for other bills related to this one and a list of subject terms
that have been applied to this bill.
Sometimes the text of one bill or resolution is incorporated into another, and in those cases the original bill or resolution, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned. |

[From the moderator: This answer presents one user's opinion.] It is not our business to provide water for foreign countries. As soon as we get involved, some corporation wants to control it. We are not the world's government - at least not constitutionally. We need to bring our focus back home. |
