...have to abandon all hope of winning Senate approval this year. In suburban Washington, domestic opponents of the treaty are preparing a massive mailing of 5 million anti-treaty broadsides. In New York, only hours after he was briefed on the treaty by U.S. Negotiators Ellsworth Bunker and Sol Linowitz, California Republican Ronald Reagan informed a convention of the Young Americans for Freedom: "I told the ambassadors not to get their hopes too high. I do not believe we should ratify this treaty." Also distressing was the decision of Senate Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd to delay his personal decision...

Confronted a few days ago with opposition to the new Panama Canal Treaty, Carter explained his position in terms of cold logic, as usual-but almost instinctively, he also reached out for the butter dish. When Ambassador Sol Linowitz called Carter from Panama City to report that an agreement would be reached within hours, one of Carter's first requests was that Linowitz phone the news to Jerry Ford up in Vail. At least three times Carter personally talked to Ford on the phone, then sent Linowitz, General George Brown, and former Ford Aide Brent Scowcroft...

...phone to Gerald Ford. First Carter called the former President at his vacation retreat in Vail, Colo. The next afternoon Ford called Carter at Camp David; the President thanked him "for this example of bipartisan support." In between conversations, Ford had been briefed for 90 minutes by Sol Linowitz (who had negotiated the terms, along with Ellsworth Bunker), and by Gen. George S. Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. At the White House, Carter had former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger over for lunch and stressed that the agreement was part of "an absolute continuum of what...

...basic agreement negotiated by Bunker and Linowitz would give Panama control of the canal by the end of the century. A second agreement gives the U.S. the right to defend the canal's "neutrality" beyond the year 2000. Both must be okayed by the Senate. Not clear, though, is whether a majority of the House will have to approve the first treaty, since it involves disposal of U.S. property. Moving to assert the authority of the lower house, New York's conservative Democratic Congressman John Murphy, chairman of the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee, summoned Bunker...

Clearly, however, Torrijos' friendly mood would change instantly if the treaty were rejected-or substantially delayed-by Congress. Linowitz, stopping off in Denver after visiting Ford to attend an American Legion Convention, claimed to have won a convert or two among the anti-treaty legionnaires. This week he stalks still bigger game: former California Governor Ronald Reagan, who earlier had denounced Carter's campaign for support as a "medicine show." To the dismay of the critics, Reagan agreed to withhold criticism until he had been briefed by Linowitz and Bunker. It seemed unlikely, however, that Reagan would join...
