So the U.S. delegation called Washington to report the impasse, and at 2 a.m. an exhausted Gore, still jet-lagged from his flight from Kyoto, got on the phone with Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto. Gore praised Hashimoto for Japan's leadership in playing host to the conference and then pointed out how bad it would look for the host country to derail the agreement over a measly percentage point...

The issue of America's ballooning trade deficit with Japan will be taken up immediately, with Clinton and Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto holding a one-on-one in advance of Friday's kickoff. In a bit of surprising news on the Japanese front, the Administration announced an agreement with Japan that will allow the U.S. greater input in Hashimoto's attempt to deregulate a number of his nation's industries, including telecommunications.
