Statement by Press Secretary Fitzwater on the President's Telephone 
Conversation With Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel

July 13, 1992
    Today, the President called Yitzhak Rabin to congratulate him on his 
victory and the formation of his government. The President told him how 
much he looked forward to working with him to deepen the U.S.-Israeli 
partnership and to promote the peace with security that the Israelis 
have rightly yearned for for so long.
    The Prime Minister told the President about his desire to give the 
peace process new momentum, and they agreed that it would be good for 
Secretary Baker to visit Israel and its neighbors next week to get the 
ball rolling again. In addition, the President invited the Prime 
Minister to visit him in Kennebunkport early in August.
