...noneconomic issues, Kissinger promised to negotiate with individual countries on a basis of "parity and dignity." That presumably includes one of the touchiest problems facing the U.S.: the Panama Canal (see box following page). Continuing his global effort to inspire confidence in America's reliability, Kissinger also pledged "to enforce our commitment to mutual security ... against those who would seek to threaten independence or export violence" -meaning the Cubans.
