Expresses the sense of the Congress that the President should submit an unclassified report to the Congress addressing: (1) the stability of the Panamanian Government; (2) the likelihood of compliance by the Panamanian Government with the Neutrality Treaty and the Statement of Understanding guaranteeing transit of vessels, including U.S. war vessels, through the Panama Canal; (3) U.S. options regarding the transfer of the Canal; and (4) U.S. options, following transfer of the Canal to Panama, if the Canal is being used for illicit drug trafficking.
