Book Description
The study addresses from a governmental perspective the legality of the 1977 Panama Canal Treaty, and related political, economic, and national interest aspects resulting from the transfer of control of the Panama Canal from the United States to Panama under the Treaty. Under the Treaty, the United States turned over to Panama, entirely gratis, $3.4 billion in lands and properties, including strategic military bases. The study concludes that the Panama Canal Treaty is illegal and unenforceable. Under international law, the terms of a treaty must be mutually agreed to by all signatories, but the United States and Panama never agreed to the same Treaty language. The Treaty language as approved by the United States Senate was never agreed to by Panama, and the Treaty has never been signed by the President of Panama, as required by the Constitution of Panama. Also, the Canal was ?property? of the United States, but its transfer was not approved by the House of Representatives, as provided for by Article IV of the United States Constitution. Counterarguments to these conclusions are presented. The Canal is wrapped inextricably with the free world and global strategy, and the United States? ability to utilize the Canal for uninterrupted commerce is essential to its commercial and financial wellbeing. The Canal has been critical to the United States military and commerce in the past, and it will continue to be so. Narco-terrorists are a potential threat to Panama and the Canal. Entire cities within Colombia, which borders Panama, are controlled by drug cartels and Colombia is fighting for its very existence. The Narco-terrorists are infectious and expansionistic and their threat of taking control of the Canal is genuine, and their hostile intentions against democracy and governmental functions are unambiguous.

Book Description
The United States Government and the Government of Panama signed the Panama Canal Treaty and the Treaty concerning the Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Canal on September 7, 1977. The U.S. Senate ratified them on April 18, 1978 and March 16, 1978 respectively. The Panama Canal Company (PCC) and the Canal Zone Government (CZG), two agencies which provide a variety of functions and services, will be replaced by the Panama Canal Commission. In order for the Commission to become operational, scheduled for October 1, 1979, implementing legislation is necessary. Two such bills have been introduced in Congress and the available evidence on Treaty issues discussed before congressional committees was collected. The issues include the form of organization the proposed Commission should take and who will audit it; the orderly transfer of functions, activities, and property; and a magnitude of Treaty-related costs. Discussions were held with representatives of the principal agencies affected by the Treaty: the U.S. Embassy, CZG/PCC, Department of Defense, Federal Aviation Administration, Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, and Gorgas Memorial Institute. The Treaty bills providing for its implementation, and numerous documents, studies, and reports are presented and reviewed.
