141. Letter From President Carter to Multiple Recipients¹

Washington, February 7, 1978

To Cy, Harold, Zbig, Ham, Frank

In my calls & meetings with Senators I’ve found that we are being hurt by varying answers to canal maintenance and operations cost questions.

Please consult immediately & evolve a clear procedure for answering new questions and for giving to me & others existing and future information.

Jimmy
