...trying to do was "get the wheel moving," Mubarak said, when he drew up a ten-point plan for opening a dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians on the future of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Mubarak's ideas, explained Secretary of State James Baker, are not competing with but are "complementary" to the peace proposal Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir put forward last May, which calls for elections in the occupied territories.
