Letter from Congressman James R. Jones Regarding the Panama Canal Treaty, 1977-08-26

The letter is a response to Mr. Joe Ziegler's opposition to the appropriation of funds for the implementation of the Panama Canal Treaty. The author, James R. Jones, explains that it is uncertain if the House of Representatives will have a say in the appropriation of funds, as it depends on the Senate's action on ratification. Jones mentions that he has not yet had the opportunity to study the treaty, but outlines the two main arguments for and against it. He advises Ziegler to contact his Senators as they will have a primary role in the decision on the treaty.
