PANAMA
(CP)
Panama's

the

the
right
to
lease
and
man
fourteen
military

sites

The
Assembly's
action
took
the
form
of
a
flat
rejection
of
the
pact,and
seemed
to
close
the
door
to

tu

negotiations.
Leading
Panama
political
figures,
in
criticism
of
the
pact,
expressed
resentment
against
what
they
termed
infringement
of
Panama's
sovereignty.

suggested
that
the

construct

if
that
nation
insists
upon
denying
defence
bases
there.
Engel
said:
"There-is
no
