SCU (SOUNDBITE) (English) JOE LOCKHART, SPOKESMAN FOR CLINTON, SAYING "The President met for first for about an hour with Prime Minister Barak, downstairs in the commons building. Again, after about an hour, he went upstairs and met with Foreign Minister Shara, again for about an hour. I'll try to give you some sense of the meetings. The President went into the meetings trying to take advantage of the historic opportunity these talks present to us to try to reach peace between Israel and Syria and believes these talks in Shepherdstown are an important next step building on the process that began just before Christmas. The President did use these bilateral meetings to help formulate plans for the week to work through the many items on the large agenda that face both sides and how to begin these discussions. Based on the meetings, the President said the talks are off to a good start. The President believes both sides are here to work seriously and constructively. I expect after another hour, hour and a half or so of down-time that the parties will come back together tonight and meet in a trilateral." 2.44 4.
