Peres was reporting to Christo pher about talks he held with a PLO official over a plan to grant limited Palestinian autonomy in the occupied Gaza Strip and the West Bank town of Jericho, Army radio said. Reports said that Peres, who has denied meeting last week with the PLO official in Stock holm, Sweden, was seeking American help in cementing the deal. One report said the Peres- Christopher meeting took place Friday night at the secretary's va cation home near Santa Barbara, and that Peres was expected back in Jerusalem for the weekly Cabi net session on Sunday. A State Department spokes woman had no comment on the reported meeting, and Prime Min ister Yitzhak Rabin's spokesman Gad Ben-Ari would neither deny nor confirm the report. But Police Minister Moshe Sha- hal confirmed it indirectly, telling the radio, "l wish him a good trip and fruitful discussion." He said "preparations being made today are to ensure this will be a fruitful round" of Mideast peace talks, which resume Tues day in Washington. In Beirut, Lebanon, mean while, three Arab states and the Palestine Liberation Organiza tion said on Saturday they would participate in the upcoming round of negotiations. The announcement by the for eign ministers of Syria, Lebanon and Jordan and the PLO's top diplomat came despite differences over the Gaza-Jericho plan. Bosnia demands U.S. presence in peace talks The Associated Press SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Any agree ment to end Bosnia's 17-month war must come with U.N. Security Council guarantees and direct U.S. par ticipation, the Muslim-led government said Sunday. Delegates from the warring sides were due back in Geneva on Monday to try to resolve remaining differences over a plan to partition Bosnia into three ethnic states. Parliament president Miro Lazovic told reporters on Sunday that the Muslim-led government will re turn to Geneva to try to win more land at the bar gaining table. But without offering specifics, he said the government, which controls only 10 percent of the country, would not sign any deal unless the Se curity Council is prepared to back it up and NATO and the United States promise support. "Without the active involvement of the United States of America, it (the settlement) will not be re spected," he said. "We are asking for their political or military support, if necessary." Lazovic wouldn't say whether the government was seeking direct involvement of U.S. troops. He said the government would seek more territo ry in eastern Bosnia, an area where Muslims held the majority before Serbs seized it. The Muslims say the current plan rewards Serb aggression and the expulsion of Muslims by occupy ing forces. Bosnian Serbs and Croats have said they will compromise no more, and their assemblies accepted the plan on Saturday. International mediators have set Monday as the deadline for accepting their proposal, which gives the Muslim-led government 31 percent of Bosnia. Serbs would get 52 percent, down from the 70 percent of Bosnia they now control, and Croats 17 percent. The republic would have a weak central government. Typhoon kills two, injures four in Japan The Associated Press TOKYO - Two people were reported killed and four others injured as a strong ty phoon battered Japan's north eastern coast on Saturdays day after drenching Tokyo with torrential rain.
