The Good Neighbor Environmental Board was created by the Enterprise for the Americas Initiative Act of 1992 (7 U.S. Code Section 5404) to advise the President and the Congress concerning environmental and infrastructure issues and needs within the States contiguous to Mexico. The statute requires the Board to submit an annual report to the President and the Congress. The Board has submitted reports in October 1995 and April 1997. The Board's 1997 report was also translated into Spanish and widely disseminated on both sides of the border. The Act requires that Board membership include representatives from appropriate U.S. Government agencies; from the governments of Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas; and from private organizations, including community development, academic, health, environmental, and other nongovernmental entities with expertise on environmental and infrastructure problems along the southwest border.
