“I would like to second what the gentleman said and go one step further. We did some good with that resolution, but we could have done more. There was no question that had we encouraged the Palestinians to get their house in order, what is now kind of a whisper the idea that there needs to be a shifting of Chairman Arafat's position to more symbolic and the strengthening of the support of real leaders who do not have to be on both sides of issues, especially on security. That whisper could be a roar if we had included that kind of support there. And I hope that with the gentleman and I speaking tonight we are going that direction of encouraging the Saudi Crown Prince to continue his agenda, but also speaking to the Palestinians and letting them know that this body, I am sure to a person, still believes that solution that includes two separate people able to determine their own future.”
