on February 26 on first-l�g stations and on March 5 for the remainder.
Copies of the program are being sent to the various House and Senate
committees presently dealing with this extremely controversial issue.
We will also be able to provide 3/4" videocassette copies to any
interested civic groups or educational institutions.
In this program Mr. Armstrong analyzes the issues pertaining to the
�anama Canal controversy and finds the very question of returning
the waterway illustrative of a deterioration of American spirit and
indicative of our coming national decline. Following is a key quote
by Mr. Armstrong:
If, for whatever reason, .good or bad, the Panama Canal
is surrendered by the United States to another nation,
it will represent a significant milestone in the pro
phetic decline of this country.
The program is a commentary taped in-studio. About two-thirds is
covered by graphics or film, including scenes from the early 1900's
of canal construction, film of U.S. forces training to defend the
canal against guerillas, scenes of current use of the canal, and
film of Panamanian riots.
