...discernible terminus--the day, ten days or so after the UMW's 38-member bargaining council approves a new contract, and a majority of members vote "yes" on the provisions President Arnold B.

Both sides were ready to hear the Secretary's proposals and make their own. Rabin last week told the Knesset that "the government has not defined the extent of territorial compromise in various sectors, but it has laid down that in return for peace we are prepared for territorial compromises."
