Washington reports negotiations between the United States and Panama over the status of the old canal and a possible new sea level waterway will begin in earnest early next month. Ambassador Robert B. Anderson leads a U S delegation seeking a unified treaty covering the existing canal and a separate agreement for the new sea level route in Panama or nearby areas. The talks aim to wrap both agreements into one treaty by mid next year and secure $17 million for site surveys, with rights also sought in Colombia Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The plan hinges on Panama’s desire for sovereignty within a future canal zone and the need to maintain a trans isthmus link for U S strategic interests.
