      abstract = {Documents in this collection trace U.S.-Panamanian  relations during the Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy  administrations. Issues relating to shipping and the  significance of the Panama Canal during the Cold War  include: "Panama Stymies Use of Her Flag in Vietminh Trade  ... A parallel situation exists in the trade with Red  China" (September 1955); and "Ships Enroute to U.S. from  Soviet or Satellite Ports" (October 1957). A letter to U.S.  Ambassador Julian F. Harrington details "the possibility  that the Conference on the Law of the Sea in 1960 would  result in a general acceptance by the United States of a  six-mile breadth of territorial sea" (April 1960). Other  documents chart day-to-day aspects of the economy: a report  on sugar production with tables on sugar production and  consumption (June 1950); and an announcement by the Panam  ̀Canal Company of a contract award for native lumber  (August 1952).},
