referred the bill (S. 90) to survey the gradient boundary along the
Red River in the States of Oklahoma and Texas, and for other pur-
poses, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon with-
out amendment and recommends that the bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 90 is to survey the gradient boundary along
the Red River in the States of Oklahoma and Texas.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
There is a 116-mile stretch of land along the Texas-Oklahoma
border that is in disputed ownership. Under the Louisiana Pur-
chase in 1803, the United States bought land from France that in-
cluded the riverbed of the Red River. Subsequent treaties between
the United States and Spain, Mexico, and the Republic of Texas
confirmed that the boundary between Texas and Oklahoma was
the Red River's south bank.
In 1867, the U.S. signed a treaty with the Kiowa, Comanche, and
Apache Tribes that designated a reservation north of the middle
of the main channel of the Red River between the 98th Meridian
