Nicaraguan canal gains momentum in Congress
A House Merchant Marine subcommittee led by Rep. Donald L. O'Toole has produced an intelligent appraisal of the Nicaraguan canal. It argues the canal would shorten East and West Coast routes and reduce risk from enemy action, while noting hostile Panamanian sentiment and welcoming Nicaragua as a friendly, defender-ready partner. The panel urges full congressional study and possible decision by the full body.
