Ford plan to cede Panama Canal Zone sparks federal clash
The article reports that the Ford administration, guided by Henry Kissinger, plans to give de facto sovereignty over the Panama Canal Zone to Panama after drafting a treaty without Senate advice and consent. Senator Jesse Helms condemned the move as unconstitutional, warning it would endanger U.S. security and commerce, and urging Ford to reject a policy seen as surrender. Virginia and national voters are urged to oppose any candidate who would give away canal control.
