The complete annual expenditure for health and life insurance benefits. if applied to todays employees. would amount to less than $2 million. most of which can be covered without any trouble out of net operating revenue of the Panama Canal Co. and the Canal Zone Government. The Panamanians are looking to us for some of the securities which most of us in the United States have long since come to expect as a fundamental condition of employment. Passage of H.R. 16968. without providing for coverage for the noncitizen workers in the Canal Zone. will further facilitate the disparity that presently exists between the citizen and noncitizen employees. Mr. Chairman.
