He argues the June 28, 1902 act authorized controlling the canal strip across Panama and that the Nicaragua option is no longer feasible. He cites Nay Pauncefote, Hay Herran treaty terms, and actions to safeguard transit amid Colombian unrest, insisting U.S. control and neutrality guarantees are essential.
