Arafat, Soviet envoy meet amid PLO Jordan talks
PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat and top aides met with Soviet ambassador Alexander Zinchuk in Amman after two days of talks with Jordanian leaders on a faltering joint peace effort with Israel. Hussein voiced distress over setbacks and the U.S. demand that the PLO recognize Israel's right to exist. Arafat showed no sign of softening positions.
