the President and the Congress on environmental and infrastructure

representatives from U.S. Government agencies; the States of Arizona,
California, New Mexico and Texas; and Tribal and private organizations
to provide advice on environmental and infrastructure issues along the
U.S.-Mexico border.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the Board's 14th report,
which will focus on the environmental and economic benefits of
renewable energy in the border region. A copy of the meeting agenda
