According to these stories, attempts are being made to have the full report modify the declarations in favor of the Nicaragua route so as to make it appear that the commission regards the Nicaragua and Panama routes as equally feasible, from an engineering point of view, and to get something into the report about the alleged political disadvantages of the former."No Known Copyright The organization that has made the Item available reasonably believes that the Item is not restricted by copyright or related rights, but a conclusive determination could not be made.
