Robert speaks with Marjorie Miller, Los Angeles Times Bureau Chief in Jerusalem, about the meeting in Gaza today of the Palestine National Council. For decades, the P-N-C has been the government in exile for Palestinians. This is the group's first meeting in territory controlled by Palestinians and Yasser Arafat is asking the council to remove their constitutional clause calling for the destruction of Israel. Many of the participants have rejected any accommodation with Israel in the past.
