WASHINGTON (AP) — Palestin
ian leader Yasser Arafat accepted Is
rael’s formula for turning over more
land on the West Bank Ttiesday and
voiced hope that an agreement
could be conclud
ed at a White
House summit in
mid-October.
“Peace is a
Palestinian need,
Israeli need, Arab
need, internation
al need,” Arafat
said after ian
hour-long meet
ing with President Clinton.
The Palestinian leader assured
Clinton that he would try to
counter terrorism against Israel.
“He will exert every possible ef
fort,” Palestinian negotiator Saeb
Erekat said.
The pullback would cover 13
percent of the West Bank, on top of
the 27 percent Israel promised ear
lier to hand over to Arafat’s Pales
tinian Authority.
It was proposed by the Clinton
administration last winter to prod
Israel to give up more of the West
Bank. Arafat, who had claimed vir
tually all of the territory, agreed to
settle for the 13 percent.
Israel, meanwhile, proposed
what its diplomats called "refine
ments.” These included setting
aside 3 percent of the land for a na
ture preserve, with Israel having a
hand in maintaining security over
the undeveloped area.
“We agreed to it to facilitate the
negotiations” for an overall West
Bank settlement, Arafat told re
porters in the White House drive
way after his meeting with Clinton.
Asked if an accord would be
signed at the
summit Clinton
plans to hold
here in mid-Octo
ber, the Palestin
ian leader said,
“We hope so.”
Clinton pro
posed the summit
meeting and ne
gotiating sched
ule during a three-way session with
Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday.
The schedule will send Secretary of
State Madeleine Albright to the
Middle East next week.
With the territorial issue basi
cally resolved, the focus of U.S.
mediation has shifted to whether
Arafat can satisfy Netanyahu’s de
mands to disrupt terrorist cells on

NEW YORK (AP) — The
White House’s drug policy chief
Tuesday proposed making
methadone more readily avail
able to drug addicts by allowing
doctors for the first time to dis
pense the synthetic heroin substi
tute in their offices.
Currently, methadone is avail
able only at special clinics, making
it difficult for some addicts to hold
down jobs and receive their daily
dose of the liquid narcotic. Some
states bar methadone altogether.
Gen. Barry McCaffrey, the
White House national drug policy
director, said study after study has
shown that methadone not only
eliminates the misery of heroin ad
diction but also makes it possible
for addicts to lead productive lives
and stay out of trouble.
“Methadone treatment is sim
ply not available for Americans in
all parts of the country in a man
ner called for by rational drug pol
icy. We’ve got to do better,” Mc
Caffrey told the American
Methadone Treatment Associa
tion in New York.
At the same time, McCaffrey an
nounced no additional money for
the policy and acknowledged that
state and local governments must
endorse the changes to make
methadone more readily available.
“This is a local decision for city
councils, county government and
state legislatures,” he said.
McCaffrey’s office set a goal of
nd
‘ “adequate methadone tK™—
capacity for all of Ameria’L iat
ate drug addicts.” ' s P u te
Eventually, McCaffrey ^ ar >d
dividual doctors would f8 be
censed to dispense merf
outside of clinics. Thepolw'it
the first time would also* ^ n F e i
an accreditation proces
methadone clinics andsei
dards for effective dosages,
seling and care.
There are an estimated
chronic heroin users in the
ed States, but only about!!
are receiving methadone.All
five states have
