Russian Plan

The Clinton administration will wait until after a meeting of US, Russian, French, and British diplomats in Geneva later today to comment on the Russian plan to diffuse tensions with Iraq. Russia's Primakov, who failed in a bid to head off a little Persian Gulf scuffle in 1991, says that after talks with Iraq's Aziz, he may have found a way to avoid war without making concessions to Iraq.
