Basic terms of canal agreement
US and Panama nearing a treaty framework for the Panama Canal. The United States would retain defense responsibility during the treaty term, with Panama taking over after expiration. The neutrality pact would open the waterway to all flags, with US sole rights to defend if threatened. Panama would receive annual payments from tolls, aid loans, and up to 70 percent of canal Zone lands transferred immediately. A new US agency would administer until 1990, then Panama-led authority. Joint consideration of future expansions and sea level feasibility is noted.
