The three main elements all require further tinkering: 1) the cease-fire will be monitored by "neutral observers"; 2) a Lebanese "security committee" will decide on a permanent force to patrol the Chouf Mountains; and 3) most important, Lebanon's major groups will be called together for a conference of national reconciliation. In addition to President Amin Gemayel, the dozen invitees include Camille Chamoun, head of the Christian Lebanese Front; Pierre Gemayel, the President...
