MIDEAST SUMMIT . . . PEACE TALKS BACK ON TRACK

Israel and the PLO today agreed to resume peace negotiations. Israel and PLO negotiators will meet again Monday in Cairo to prepare for talks between Arafat and Rabin next Thursday at a border crossing in the Gaza Strip. The compromise was reached at a summit in Cairo, hosted by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, and attended by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, PLO leader Yasser Arafat and Jordan's King Hussein. After five hours of private talks, the four leaders also denounced terrorism, and agreed to work toward a nuclear-free Middle East. TIME State Department correspondent Ann Simmons reports that the U.S. has invited the foreign ministers of all four countries to meet in Washington later this month to continue the discussions.
