Clinton to address PNC meeting in Gaza City
Monday's PNC gathering in Gaza City will hear President Clinton speak as the council under the Wye River pact nears reaffirmation of earlier moves to revoke PLO charter clauses.

The Wye plan ties the PNC action to an Israeli troop pullback, and Clinton is unlikely to declare failure.
