Canal"
Transiting into the New Millennium

The
United States-Panama Business Council's "Panama
Week" focused
on the transfer of the Panama Canal to Panama from
the United States.
The canal is a vital economic link for global commerce
and the transfer and
transition generated worldwide interest. USPA organized
a series of events
to discuss this transition and its impact, especially
on
the United States and Panama.
