   109827               Statement of

                      J. Kenneth Fasick

              Director, International Division

         before the Senate Armed Services Committee   -   C

                             on

      Panama Canal Treaty Implementing Legislatio5n

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

     We are pleased to appear before you today to discuss the

operational and financial issues involved in the implementation

of the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977. In the 22 months since the

signing of the Treaty, there has been an extensive analysis and

useful debate over these issues. As the Comptroller General

said to this Committee on February 1, 1978,

     We believe that the treaty implementing legisla-
     tion is the key determinant of the financial via-
     bility of the proposed Panama Canal Commission.

     With this in mind, we recently issued a staff study which

provides an information source and data base on the critical

issues. Our study Background Information Bearing Upon Panama

Canal Treaty Implementing Legislation, dated June 4, 1979, has

been provided to every member of Congress. Today, we would

like to summarize the information in this study. With me is

Frank Zappacosta, Assistant Director for our Accounting and

Financial Reviews and Henry Avalos, Team Leader.

                                                  7e&tA
