President Roosevelt tells Governor Pardee that the Colorado River break is on the Mexican side of the border, and that the U.S. government cannot act until granted permission by Mexico. Roosevelt has told the California Development Company that it is their responsibility to act, as the damage resulted from their work that began on Mexican soil in October 1904. Once the California Development Company tends to the current break, then the U.S. government will work with Mexico to find a permanent solution.
