Clinton to meet with Barak, Arafat
JERUSALEM (AP) - Scattered
clashes yesterday across the Gaza
Strip and West Bank left two Pales-
tinians dead, 17 injured and tensions
high despite a truce agreement and
plans for upcoming meetings in
Washington.
President Clinton, who has been try-
ing to restore calm to the region, will
play host to Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat on Thursday, and Israeli Prime
Minister Ehud Barak three days later,
on Nov. 12, the White House said yes-
terday.
Both Palestinians killed yesterday
were shot dead in the Gaza Strip. One
Iwas Maher Mouhmad Alsaidi, a 16-
dear-old boy hit in the head during a
confrontation near the Al Bureij
refugee camp, according to Shifa hos-
pital director Mouawia Hassanian.
At least 10 Palestinians were
wounded in Gaza, and seven were hurt
in the West Bank in a clash outside
Bethlehem, to the south of Jerusalem,
according to Palestinian security.
In the West Bank, two Jewish set-
tlers, a man and a woman, were
wounded when Palestinian assailants
ambushed their car and opened fire,
settler spokesmen and the military
said.
In a plea for peace, tens of thou-
sands of Israelis filled a Tel Aviv
square on Saturday night to pay tribute
to former prime minister Yitzhak
Rabin, who was assassinated at the site
five years ago by and ultranationalist
Israeli opposed to trading land for
peace with the Palestinians.
The current violence has hardened
attitudes on both sides and put seven
years of peace negotiations on hold.
Many dovish Israelis, including
some of those at the rally, said their
faith in the peace process has been
shaken. Many Palestinians, mean-
while, said they have little to show for
the lengthy negotiations.
Barak yesterday told his Cabinet
that the large turnout was "an impres-
sive and emotional demonstration" of
the Israeli commitment to peace.
In a speech at the Saturday rally,
Barak warned Arafat that Israel "will
not surrender to violence and we will
defend our civilians and Israeli sol-
diers everywhere."
Arafat and his aides did not appear
ready to tone down the rhetoric. The
Palestinian leader met with families
of the dead yesterday and his top
aide, Tayeb Abdel Rahim, told the
families: "The uprising will continue
until we have an independent Pales-
tinian state."
The Israeli-Palestinian violence
broke out more than five weeks ago,
claiming 170 lives - the vast majority
Palestinian - in the worst bloodshed
since peace talks began in 1993.
Arafat, in an interview with CBS,

High court to hear environmental case
WASHINGTON - As Americans go to the polls tomorrow, the Supreme'
Court will take up an unusually important clean air case that could crimpshe
federal government's power to combat pollution for several years.
As an environmental dispute, the case sounds familiar.
Business groups representing truckers, power plant operators and car dal
are chafing at the strict air-quality standards announced three years ago by t
Clinton administration's Environmental Protection Agency. If put into effect,
these rules limiting smog and soot would cost businesses more than S46 billion a
year, industry leaders argue.
Defending the rules, EPA officials and environmentalists say that 125 million
Americans will breathe cleaner air if mandatory controls are added in scores of
communities. Equally important, an estimated 350,000 children will not contract
asthma and other lung ailments, they say.
But the Election Day argument in the high court is less about clean air than
about who makes the laws. Its timing is coincidental.
Certainly, voters set the general direction for the government by electing a
president and members of Congress. Together, legislators and the chief executid
make the laws. But the precise rules and regulations that give a law its force a0
