So far, progress has been good in implementing provisions of the Panama Canal Treaty, as illustrated by the smooth transfer to Panama of various port and railroad activities, certain health and sanitation services, and other functions. The Panama Canal Commission and the Department of Defense have made substantial progress in enacting importing personnel changes required by the Treaty or its implementing legislation. Several unresolved issues and problems hinder full implementation of the Treaty; however, the parties involved are working toward solutions to problems in the following areas: Termination of U.S. jurisdiction in the former Canal Zone; Transfer to Panama of considerable property, port and railroad facilities, and certain public services; and Defense's assumption of certain functions previously performed by the Panama Canal Company and Canal Zone Government. In addition, there is potential for better interagency coordination.
