I
Democrat to leave
Gingrich inquiry
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House ethics committee’s ranking
Democrat said Tuesday he was re
moving himself from the investiga
tion of Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash.,
bowed to criticism of his role in the
handling of a taped phone call in
volving the House leader.
McDermott said he would step
aside “as a matter of conscience.” His
announcement came less than a week
before the panel was to vote on pen
alties for Gingrich’s violation of
House rules.
AJso Tuesday, the FBI opened an
investigation into whether federal
criminal law was broken in the tap
ing and dissemination of the
Gingrich telephone call.
In a written statement,
McDermott said he would leave as
soon as Republicans restored the
political balance on the committee.
They could do so by removing a GOP
member —presumably newly ap
pointed Lamar Smith of Texas —
leaving four members from each
party.
. McDermott said Gingrich vio
lated his agreement not to orches
trate a response to the ethics viola
tions, apparently referring to the in
tercepted phone call of Gingrich and
other Republicans that he sent to the
committee’s office.
McDermott said the tape showed
evidence of the breach. But commit
tee chairwoman Nancy Johnson, R
Conn., refused to accept the record-.
ing from McDermott and delivered
it instead to the criminal division of
the Justice Department.
Israeli withdrawal
agreement signed
EREZ CROSSING, Israel (AP)
— Israeli and Palestinian negotia
tors signed a long-awaited -agree
ment on Israel’s long-delayed pull
out from Hebron and parts of the
West Bank Wednesday.
The signing ended a dangerous
impasse in Middle East peacemak
ing. It followed an early morning
summit between Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestin
ian leader Yasser Arafat at an Israel
Gaza border crossing. Their chief
negotiators - Dan Shomron and Saeb
Erekat - signed the final accord,
Netanyahu spokesman Dan
Shomron said.
The agreement lays out “a path
way of greater hope and possibility
for peace in the Middle East as a
whole,” said U.S. envoy Dennis
Ross, who pushed for the accord in
four months of tortuous negotiations.
Authorities did not immediately
release details of the accord. But ac
cording to reports and information
provided by officials previously, Is
rael is to give the Palestinians con
trol of 80 percent of the Biblical city
of Hebron within days. Israel has fur
thermore committed to roll back its
presence in the West Bank in three
stages—beginning in six weeks and
ending in August 1998.
It is the first concrete step in the
peace process since Netanyahu’s
hard-line government took office in
June, pledging to slow down the
handover of land to the Palestinians.
Tensions between the two sides
have risen sharply as the stalemate
in their relations lengthened. In Sep
tember, Palestinian frustration
sparked clashes with Israel in which
79 people died.
But Wednesday’s agreement sets
the stage f&r future conflict by leav
ing as many questions as it answers
— most notably the scope of the
planned Israeli withdrawals. The
Palestinians hope to gain control of
most of the West Bank, but
Netanyahu by some reports plans to
give up as little as one-third of the
territory.
Netanyahu spokesman Shai
Bazak said Netanyahu would take
the deal later Wednesday to his Cabi
net — where about half the minis
ters have said they are against it or
undecided. Arafat is expected to en
counter less opposition when his
cabinet considers the accord.
Impeachment for
Yeltsin considered
MOSCOW (AP) — Calls for
Boris Yeltsin’s impeachment are
coming from the Russian
president’s political opponents be
cause of his ill health.
However, Yeltsin’s doctors say
they expect the president to make
a full recovery from his bout of
pneumonia. Yeltsin would be cer
tain to resist any moves against him
by the Communist-dominated
Duma or lower house of Parlia
ment.
Previous attempts to remove
Yeltsin have failed and the latest
moves appeared to have little sup
port. Yeltsin remained hospitalized
for a seventh day Tuesday with
double pneumonia.
Duma speaker Gennady
Seleznyov said a draft document on
impeaching Yeltsin for health rea
sons has been submitted to the le
gal section of the Duma, the
Interfax news agency reported.
He acknowledged that any im
peachment attempt would be a
long, cumbersome process, but said
there could be a debate
