Defense chief backs canal pact with Panama in Senate hearing
Secretary Harold Brown told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the case for the treaties is overwhelming and backed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He argued the accords protect U.S. security, guarantee canal defense, and allow timetabled Panamanian control by 2000 while preserving U.S. power to intervene if threats arise. The Joint Chiefs testified that cooperation with Panama strengthens defense of the canal though a war with nuclear implications could complicate protection efforts.
