...Republican leaders cheered lustily last week when Ronald Reagan accused Jimmy Carter of signing a "fatally flawed" Panama Canal treaty. They applauded enthusiastically when John Connally charged that the Democrats stood for the three Rs: "retrenchment, resignation and retreat." They gave warm welcomes to Senators Howard Baker and Robert Dole. The purpose of the three-day meeting at Disney World's Contemporary Resort-Hotel at Orlando, Fla., was to discuss strategy for next year's elections. But the G.O.P. faithful eagerly took a sneak preview of 1980 by sizing up four of the many presidential candidates in waiting...
...Robert Dole, 54, the Kansas Senator who overdid sarcasm on the stump as Ford's running mate in 1976 (and many people thought he cost the party the election), is now trying to show he has positions that span a bit beyond the predictable right. This year Dole has made 160 speeches outside Washington and has churned out dozens of statements twitting the Administration; last week he denounced moves for closer ties between the U.S. and Cuba. Sensing an opportunity to one-up Baker on Panama, Dole may try to lead the antitreaty forces in the Senate...
...answer the question of intervention to almost everyone's satisfaction. Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd, who has not said how he stands on the treaty, described the understanding as "a very important diplomatic achievement and a big plus for the President and the treaty."

The Special Committee on Aging was made a permanent Senate special committee by a unanimous vote on the Senate floor (a few Senators, however, abstained). Encouraged by this vote, Nutrition Committee Chairman George McGovern (D.-S. Dak.), Sens. Robert Dole (R.-Kan.), Hubert Humphrey (D.-Minn.), Henry Bellmon (R.-Okla.), Edward M. Kennedy '54 (D.-Mass.) and others fought to extend the Nutrition Committee on a year-by-year basis, as had been done in the past. Nutritions ranking minority member Charles Percy (R.-Ill.) made the impassioned plea...
...Dole passed out copies of a confidential State Department cable that quoted one of the Panamanian negotiators as denying flatly that the treaties would give the U.S. the right to intervene militarily or even send its warships through on a priority basis after 1999. When the cable hit the headlines, anti-treaty Senators howled in outrage, and backers of the canal pacts groaned. Democratic Senator Frank Church warned that the apparent differences between the U.S. and Panamanian views of the pacts had to be resolved quickly. "Otherwise," he said, "this will be a tangle, then a morass and finally...
