day conference on "The Middle East Peace Process" at North

on Israeli-Palestinian relations and the parallel peace process at
work in Lebanon, Syria and the Gulf lo these many years will discuss
the current state of these negotiations, the impact upon them of the
assasination of Israeli Prime Minister Rabin, and future prospects
for peace in the region. One of the speakers, Dr. Kenneth
Stein, helped broker the Camp David Accords and has recently
returned from observing the recent elections in Plaestine. The
