cnrred while Sears was telling
reporters "as far as we're con-
cerned . we continue to be
very satisfied with what's in
there (the platform).'
A Reagan committee spokes-
man said later Sears did not
learn of the canal vote until af-
ter the news conference. How-
ever, the spokesman said Sears'
statement would "include what
happened on Panama."
THE SPOKESMAN said the
plank on Panama is much
stronger than the original state-
ment which he described as
"toothless."
The canal plank which was
approved says that negotiators
with Panama "should in no way
cede, dilute, forfeit, negotiate or
transfer any rights, power,
authority, jurisdiction, territory
or property that are necessary
for the protectionaand security
of the United States and the en-
tire western hemisphere."
The amendment dealing with
African policy said the U.S.
should avoid policies "which un-
dercut the stability of African
nations through unrealistic or
impractical demands." Retained

forces which promote negotiated
settlements and racial peace."

address a joint session of Con-
gress. It was opposed by Sen.
Roman Hruska who said that
if "we open the door to one
author when are we going to
stop?"
Earlier, Ford scored another
platform victory when the com-
mittee voted Strto 47 to include
an endorsement of the Equal
Rights Amendment (ERA) in
the document that will be sub-

nitted next week to the con- lot unless they received assur-
