Carter pushes hard to settle Panama Canal dispute with Panama
President Carter pursues a Panama Canal settlement with Panamanian leader Gen Omar Touijos. Panamanian demands shift from a $1.02 billion signing gift to a $460 million gift and rents from $300 million to $150 million, with U S intervention possible if canal defense is threatened. Senate analysis will weigh the accord's impact on U S defense and control of the canal.
