This directive shall not apply, however, to properties conforming to the aforementioned physical descriptions which have recently been relinquished in good faith to the sovereign Republic of Panama; whereby said relinquished property shall be controlled and its use directed by those having direct ownership of contiguous properties along aforementioned waterway, blah blah, blah....

Care to give some details on #10173 that this is amending?

-- Linda (lwmb@psln.com), December 06, 1999.

I am searching for more info on EO #10173 but I am having difficulty tracking this down. However, it strikes me as odd that an amendment to an EO from 1950 that deals with our ports, harbours,etc.. should surface at this particular time.
