Kissinger and Rusk defend Panama Canal treaty
Former secretaries Kissinger and Rusk endorsed the Carter administration treaty, arguing it grants the United States greater authority to keep the canal open. They contend the 1903 pact was inequitable, and the interim 2000 handover plans ensure neutrality and open access with Panama. They warned opposed by critics would fail to secure support without the new agreement.
