Senator Dennis DeConcini is also known for sponsoring the critical amendment to the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977 that allowed the Senate to come to a consensus on returning Panama control of the Canal. Those opposed to returning the Canal to Panama were concerned that the United States would lose control of a major economic and military asset. Senator DeConcini's amendment to the treaty allowed the United States "to take such steps as each [the U.S. or Panama] deems necessary, in accordance with its constitutional processes, including the use of military force in the Republic of Panama, to reopen the Canal or restore the operations of the Canal, as the case may be." This came to be known as the DeConcini Reservation. President Jimmy Carter and Panamanian Chief of Government Omar Torrijos signed the Panama Canal Treaty and Neutrality Treaty on September 7, 1977.
