President Roosevelt updates Director of the U.S. Geological Survey Walcott regarding the efforts to repair the break in the Colorado River at the California-Mexico border. Roosevelt writes that Mexico will help however they can within reason with the repairs. He states that the Union Pacific Railroad Company and their director Edward Henry Harriman must conduct the repairs in the immediate, but that the U.S. government should be prepared to conduct all further maintenance. Roosevelt feels the government and California Improvement Company should share future maintenance responsibilities, and asks Walcott to formulate a plan that can be submitted to the State Department.

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.
