Thanks. A bunch of us here in Georgia worked like hell to keep that real estate. Instead, Carter, Baker, Nunn PAID the Panamanians to take it off our hands. Now the Chicoms are in there.
In the aftermath of that debacle, my car sported a bumper sticker declaring “Once we had a canal. Now we have Nunn.”
So many battles. So few troops. NO STATESMEN.
Thank you, Dick Bachert. I love you and your group. We did not realize we had so many folks working for us. We all felt so very alone and isolated.
No, don’t worry about the Chicoms. They are not entrenched here as it is thought.
Listen to this: The Panamanians built a bridge across the canal at Culebra Cut about three years ago. The whole thing is falling apart. And they are going to build a third locks?
The winner for the third locks project is no other than the Panamanian administrator of the Canal. His company (under another CEO in name only) offered the lowest bid and won. The newspapers announced it this morning.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
