    Arafat of the Palestinian Authority in Oslo
    November 1, 1999

    EgyptAir Flight 990 Aircraft Tragedy

        Q. Mr. President, is there anything new on the crash, sir? Has the
    Pentagon radar or satellite imagery been able to yield any clues as to
    what happened to EgyptAir 990?
        President Clinton. Nothing that I've been briefed on.

    Middle East Peace Process

        Q. Mr. Chairman, what would you like the President to do to be
    helpful to your aspirations, as you put it?
        Chairman Arafat. Not to forget that first agreement which had been
    started here in Oslo had been signed under his supervision in the White
    House. We cannot forget it.

    Note: The exchange began at 5:52 p.m. in the Gamlebyen Room at the SAS
    Radisson Hotel. A tape was not available for verification of the content
