If a construction permit for Channel 237A at Dilley, Texas, is granted prior to the Commission's receipt of formal concurrence in the allotment by the Mexican Government, the construction permit will include the following condition: ``Use of this allotment is subject to suspension, modification, or termination without right to hearing, if found by the Commission to be necessary in order to conform to the 1992 USA-Mexico FM Broadcast Agreement or if specifically objected to by Mexico's Secretaria de Communicaciones Y Transportes.''
