Canal negotiators defend Panama Canal accord before House panel
Ambassadors Ellsworth Bunker and Sol Linowitz testified to the House Merchant Marines and Fisheries Committee as critics oppose the Panama Canal transfer. The envoys outlined terms moving the waterway to Panama by 2000 while preserving U.S. neutrality rights and ongoing defense obligations. Senate ratification and Panamanian plebiscite required. House involvement on Canal Zone property and foreign aid bills also looms. Ford and Kissinger backed the plan while proponents argue it serves U.S. interests and keeps the canal open.
