Carter backs Panama Canal pact to win Senate approval
President Carter pursues a four pronged strategy to secure ratification of the Panama Canal treaty. He seeks personal persuasion of senators, mobilizes public pressure, engages top Republicans Ford and Kissinger, and argues the deal boosts U S security and Latin American relations. The pact would end U S control by 2000 with Panama gaining Zone authority within three years. It also increases canal payments and funds Panamanian aid.
