Date: June 21, 1979
Subject: Panama Canal Implementation
Description: Bauman (R-MD) motion to recommit the bill to the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee with instructions to report the bill back to the House with the original text of the Hansen (R-ID) amendment to require Panama to pay all U.S. costs in implementing the canal treaties. The Hansen amendment would have saved U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars and negated the preposterous proposal that the U.S pay Panama for the privilege of receiving the Canal.
Result: Motion to Recommit Failed, 210-216
Names ordered: By yea/nay Order alphabetically Order by party Order by state
