...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 on the treaty until...
...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 such conservative Republicans as Senators S.I. Hayakawa...
...issue of the canal was thrust into the last presidential campaign when G.O.P. Contender Ronald Reagan denounced the proposed treaty as a "giveaway." Jimmy Carter also pledged never to surrender "complete or practical control" of the canal. But once Carter was in office, he put the treaty near the top of his agenda.

As a former U.S. Ambassador to the Organization of American States, Linowitz, 63, had pleased and impressed Latin Americans. Moreover, he firmly believed in a new treaty...
...rough nose count indicates at least 50 Senators for the treaty, 20 unalterably opposed (a minimum of 34 will be needed to block the treaty). Proponents are encouraged by the defection of Barry Goldwater and S.I. Hayakawa. Since Barry switched, he says that Ronald Reagan has not spoken to him. Explains Goldwater, resignedly: "I would have said that we should fight for the canal if necessary. But the Viet Nam years have taught me that we wouldn't. So we might as well hand it over." During his California senatorial campaign, Hayakawa quipped: "We stole it fair and square...
...mile-wide DMZ into North Korea. There he landed and inspected the aircraft for damage. President Carter later related that Miles then "got back into the helicopter and took off. The North Koreans, who were approaching, apparently shot the helicopter down." Miles, Sergeant Robert Haynes, 29, and Sergeant Ronald Wells, 22, were killed either in the crash or by North Korean gunfire after the chopper hit the ground. Schwanke survived and was taken into custody...
