After Clinton speaks, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres of Israel and Mahmoud Abbas, PLO Executive Committee member, make brief remarks. Then Foreign Minister Peres and Mr. Abbas sign the declaration, and Secretary of State Warren Christopher and Foreign Minister Andrey Kozyrev of Russia sign as witnesses. Secretary Christopher and Foreign Minister Kozyrev then make remarks, followed by Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel and Chairman Yasser Arafat of the PLO.
