Mr. President. a second border crossing between San Diego County. Calif.. and Baja California has been discussed for more than 15 years. because the present international border crossing at San Ysidro is inadequate to meet the demands of commercial and tourist traffic between Mexico and the United States. The congestion at this site is so heavy that U.S. citizens visiting the neighboring border state of Baja California have experienced more than 3hour waits to reenter the United States. Although the 24gate facility at San Ysidro was rebuilt in 1973 to better accommodate passenger and pedestrian traffic. no commercial traffic facilities were provided in anticipation of their location at the proposed OtayMesa crossing.
