I'm delighted to have President Weizman here, and we had a nice dinner last evening, and we're going to have further talks today about what we can do in the United States to further the peace process. And certainly we are grateful for all that he has done as President and throughout his entire career. It's a great honor to have you here. President Weizman. Thank you very much. President Clinton. Thank you. Jonathan Pollard Espionage Case Q. Mr. President, thank you. In light of the recent swap between Israel and Jordan, there has also been talk raised again about Jonathan Pollard.

The question of Jonathan Pollard--will you be raising it with President Clinton today? President Weizman. It's always in our minds. Q. Mr. President? President Clinton.

And that's what I'll do if it comes up again. Assassination Attempt on Khaled Meshal Q. Good morning. Thank you, Mr. President.…”
