Tex.. there must be certain Government facilities at the Rio Grande in order to take care of customs. immigration. and public health. not only for Americans going into Mexico but for Mexicans coming into the United States. For many years the employees of our Government have had quarters in an old and outofdate leased building. Five years ago Congress appropriated $535.000 for a modern Government building. A site was selected and contracted for. When the abstract of title was delivered to the Attorney General for examination he refused to approve same because the land is in what is known as the Chamizal Zone. which is a strip of land claimed by Mexico on account of changes in the channel of the Rio Grande.
