BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL I t49-

Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES

Implementing The Panama Canal Treaty

Of 1977--Good Planning But Many Issues

Remain

So far, progress has been good in implemer-
ting provisions of the Panama Canal Treaty, as
illustrated by the smooth transfer to Panama
of various port and railroad activities, certain
health and sanitation services, and other func-
tions. The Panama Canal Commission and the
Department of Defense have made substantial
progress in enacting important personnel
changes required by the Treaty or its imple-
menting legislation.

Several unresolved issues and problems hinder
full implementation of the Treaty; however,
the parties involved are working toward solu-
tions to problems in the following areas.

--Termination of U.S. jurisdiction in the
former Canal Zone.

--Transfer to Panama of considerable
property, port and railroad facilities,
and certain public services.

--Defense's assumption of certain func-
tions previously performed by the Pa-
nama Canal Company and Canal Zone
Government.

In addition, there is potential for better inter-
agency coordination.
