- W2324445238 abstract "O N DECEMBER 18, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson announced that the United States had decided to begin planning the construction of a sea-level canal across the isthmus connecting North and South America.' Before digging can start, however, the United States government must solve two major problems. It must select a site for the new canal and negotiate a treaty governing operation and control of the canal. The solution of these problems will involve sensitive diplomatic questions such as national sovereignty and border disputes. The timing of negotiations will be important, for the mere discussion of these matters may strain relations between the United States and Latin America or among the countries in the Central American isthmus. The United States experienced all these difficulties nearly a century ago. Between 1869 and 1877 the United States made a major effort to locate a route and construct an isthmian waterway in Central America. The attempt failed because the United States government could not overcome some of the obstacles which face it today. Ulysses S. Grant came to office in 1869 determined to have the United States dig a canal between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. His interest in the project dated back at least to 1852, when he crossed the Isthmus of Panama at the height of the rainy season with the Fourth United States Infantry Regiment. As Brevet Captain Grant, he was the regimental quartermaster responsible for transportation of the unit across the isthmus. More than one hundred men lost their lives during this crossing, mainly because of cholera. Grant never forgot the mud and the intense heat of the jungle;2 for the rest of his life he maintained an active interest in an Atlantic-Pacific interoceanic canal route.
