As I remember it, he didn’t “give it away.” A lot of taxpayer money went with it. So basically we paid Panama to take it. I remember it because back then I used to read Time magazine, which ran an editorial saying that even though the American people did not want to give up the Panama Canal, it was good for all the people’s representatives in Congress to vote for giving it back, in opposition to their constituents’ wishes, because it was the “right thing to do.“ I canceled my subscription to that magazine.
I wonder if Carter knew what the base would be used for when he gave it away.
