Panamanian chief warns Kissinger on Panama Canal
Panamanian strongman Omar Torrijos issues a sharp letter to Secretary Kissinger warning that U S accusations threaten canal security and talks on a new treaty. The note, released by Panama's embassy, follows U S cables alleging National Guard actions in the Canal Zone and cites a prior meeting with the U S ambassador. Torrijos says no evidence supports the claims and urges calm to avoid inflaming Panamanian youth. Secretary Kissinger will then visit Acapulco for Christmas week with friends.
