Congress gave up the Panama Canal. It was passed both by the Senate and 
House. Without that bill, Jimmy Carter wouldn't have had anything to sign. I 
don't know if I even disagree with that decision any more. Back at the time 
I didn't like it. Frank Church (Idaho Senator) lost his long-held Senate 
seat because he voted for that bill.
