But I would hope that today in Paris where Prime Minister Barak and Chairman Arafat are arriving this morning. I think Chairman Arafat is already in a meeting with President Chirac. At the end of this series of meetings that they are going to have both of them are going to meet with Mrs Albright. And there is hope that they would meet in a trilateral meeting the two of them with Mrs Albright. Each would meet with President Chirac and I would also meet with each of them.
