ARAFAT AGREES TO MEET WYE ACCORD DATE
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has
given his agreement to Israel's
proposal to start implementing the long
overdue Wye accord on September 1.
President Arafat said he had accepted
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak's
offer to implement outstanding pledges
under the land-for-security accord.
"If he wants me to implement in
September, we accept," he said.
