Perhaps President Johnson is not determined to end the Canal controversy. His offer Saturday to "review" rather than "discuss" the all issues with Panama neither moderates nor clarifies the Administration's stance and does not satisfy Panama's insistence that the United States agree to "negotiate."

...studied every likely spot from southern Mexico to the jungles of northwest Colombia with the idea of building a new canal-at sea level and hence without the need for locks. *In 1945 Congress ordered the first broad investigation of new routes; at least 30 were considered. When Panama's President Roberto F. Chiari visited Washington in 1962, President Kennedy told him that any renegotiated treaty would have to take into account U.S. plans for a new canal...
