Canal pact near agreement ends U.S. control of Panama Canal
Negotiators from the United States and Panama say they are near a treaty to phase out U.S. control of the canal and a separate pact to guarantee its neutrality. They expect final deals by June with ratification by the U.S. Senate and a Panamanian plebiscite. The plan sets Panama to take full control by 1999, with the U.S. operating the waterway until then. The canal would be neutral and deposited with the OAS, amid debate over sovereignty and joint treaty wording.
