Kissinger and Rusk Back Panama Canal Treaty
Former secretaries Kissinger and Rusk urged support for the 1977 Panama Canal treaties, arguing they give the United States a stronger basis to keep the waterway open and neutral. They contrasted the 1977 accord with the 1908 treaty and cited potential U.S. actions to maintain canal functioning if needed. The officials testified before the House committee as Washington praised Torrijos era negotiations and welcomed the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights probe.
