2. Wasn't that Carter?

I remember people being pissed about it. I thought it was a very fair gesture, since no one actually asked Panama in the first place--the Canal being one of the last major "colonial" civil engineering projects.

3. Yeppers, that was Carter. It was a huge flap over "giving away" a

property that we never rightfully owned anyway.

Go figure . . .

4. That's what I thought.

I was still in my early teens, but I remember how nasty some folks got about it.

I thought at the time that it was the right thing to do, no matter how politically unpopular it was.

Still do, for that matter.
