In any proceeding involving the assertion, enforcement, or defense of such rights, the United States shall not be a required party and and any decision by the United States regarding participation in any such proceeding shall not be subject to judicial review or give rise to any claim for relief against the United States. Congress confirms that the benefits to allottees in the agreement are equitable and fully satisfy their water rights.
