| | Mekong Committee |
 | | Thailand has found its own funding for four Mekong projects within its own territory, and has plans for several more, some of which would probably be opposed by downstream riparians if they were brought before the Mekong Committee. | | | This group of international participants has been dubbed "the Mekong club," which has infused the international community with "the Mekong spirit." [See Figure 3.] | | | Likewise, funding and involvement from the United States, which had been about 12% of total aid to the Committee, was cut off in June 1975, and has not been restored to significant levels. |
