Panama treaty fate uncertain as Senate heads to vote
US Senate nears a pivotal vote on the second Panama Canal treaty. Democratic leaders seek a wording to allow military intervention to defend the canal without implying internal Panama meddling. Opponents led by Senator Laxalt say they have 33 votes and expect a tight result, with others warning the outcome could hinge on last minute Panama events. The first treaty passed 68 to 32, but the second faces opposition over a DeConcini amendment asserting US right to intervene to keep the canal open.
