What did the signed order change?

EO 12916 addressed U.S. implementation of the Border Environment Cooperation Commission and North American Development Bank agreement. EO 13380 amended EO 12916 to reflect the 2002 protocol, provide U.S. Treasury, State and EPA board seats, reserve two U.S. board appointments for the President and assign U.S. chair and policy-coordination functions to Treasury.

What happened later?

North American Development Bank — board of directors documents this later development: The North American Development Bank’s board page lists the U.S. Treasury Secretary, Secretary of State and EPA Administrator among its U.S. members, alongside border representatives.

What does that evidence establish?

The signed order amends EO 12916, not EO 13369 (the federal tax-reform panel). The bank’s later roster corroborates the named agency seats, without proving that a particular project was caused by EO 13380. Board membership is not evidence of an individual financing decision. The signed order controls its original terms.
