Bush, on his first overseas trip as U.S. chief executive, met for lunch with French President Francois Mitterrand. He also met with Japanese Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita; King Hussein of Jordan; Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak; Chaim Herzog, president of Israel and leaders from from Portugal and Thailand...
Shamir's sneak preview, however, offered nothing really new. Palestinian autonomy and negotiations on a final settlement five years later are ideas drawn from the 1978 Camp David accords, and Arab leaders, except Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, have adamantly rejected them all along.

Speaking to the Paris weekly Journal du Dimanche, Arafat's second in command, Salah Khalaf, said the new agenda "would be completely different" from the 1968 National Charter calling for "armed struggle" to destroy Israel...
