Dr. Fettman thought the
journey into space would be
like a long camping trip: some
hard work and discomfort but
a good time nonetheless.
Then he went on several
flights in the KC 141 jet,
known as the 'zero-G' plane.
"All of a sudden, what was
going to be this camping trip

Meeting With Hassan
Proves Boycott End
Washington (JTA) — Israeli
Foreign Minister Shimon
Peres says his un-
precedented public meeting
with Jordanian Crown
Prince Hassan is proof that
Jordan has ended its par-
ticipation in the Arab
boycott against Israel.
The meeting between the
two, which dealt largely
with economic issues, took
place at the White House
with President Clinton play-
ing host.
Afterward, Mr. Peres told
reporters that he and the
crown prince had agreed to
establish working groups to
discuss economic and envi-
ronmental issues.
"We have decided about an
economic cooperation, and
that automatically brings an
end to the boycott," the
Israeli foreign minister said.
"On the Jordanian case and
on the Egyptian case," the
Arab boycott "is dead."
The White House meeting
took place two weeks after
Israel and Jordan initialed
an accord laying out the
path of bilateral negotia-
tions toward a peace agree-
ment.
Although meetings bet-
ween high-level Israeli and
Jordanian officials have oc-
curred many times in the
past, they have all been held
in secret. This one was
unusual in that it was not
only confirmed by the two
sides but discussed openly by
the participants.
At the White House, Mr.
Clinton announced that
Israel and Jordan had
agreed to establish both a
bilateral economic com-
mittee and a working group
on economic development
issues that would also in-
clude U.S. participation.
In addition, Israel and
Jordan will discuss the prob-
lems of "desertification" in
the region.
Mr. Clinton said the two
sides plan to work closely
with the Palestinians as
they map out an economic
plan for the region.
"Let me say personally
that I enjoyed this meeting
very much. I applaud the
crown prince, I applaud the
foreign minister for coming
here, for being a part of it,"
the president said as he
stood on the White House
lawn with his two guests.
"We believe that together
we can work toward a peace
that benefits everyone, and
we believe there are things
we can be doing now to
benefit the countries and the
Cooperation with
both Egypt and
Jordan.
peoples economically in
ways that strengthen their
inner sense of security and
commitment to this
remarkable process," Mr.
Clinton added.
It is clear that the United
States is pulling out all the
stops to help the countries
that are cooperating with
the Middle East peace pro-
cess.
After the Peres-Hassan
meeting, a senior White
House official told reporters
that the United States will
lead an international effort
to help Jordan with its
heavy debt burden.
Mr. Peres told reporters in
New York that among the
items on the agenda of-the
Israeli-Jordanian economic
committee are development
of the Dead and Red seas,
the Arava and Negev
deserts, and the Jordan
River. ❑
