SOUNDBITE: (English) Condoleezza Rice, US National Security Adviser: "The President just believes that this is a good time to sit down, face to face, eye to eye with the leaders who have responsibilities for trying to bring about that peace. I want to be very clear, this is going to be a long process and it is going to have ups and downs as it has always had. But on this entire Middle East portion, what the President will do is to talk to the assembled leaders about their responsibilities and about our responsibilities to try and push forward the peace." 4. Close-up reporters taking notes 5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Condoleezza Rice, US National Security Adviser: "The president has always said that he wants to meet when he believes he can advance the agenda. He fully believes that he is now in a position to advance the agenda or we would not have proposed the plan, the trip that I have just talked to you about. We are watching the circumstances, we are watching to see if the parties are moving forward. It is after all the case that the parties have to be dedicated and devoted and moving forward. But we believe we are at a place where this meeting is likely to be very helpful and so the President is simply saying that he will assess, but he fully believes that he is going to able to go forward." 6.

We do believe that there are multilateral ways to deal with that situation including what we are trying to do with Russia, what we will try to do with China. We will see what the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) report says and we will see what options we have once the IAEA has reported." 9. Close-up reporter 10. SOUNDBITE: (English) Condoleezza Rice, US National Security Adviser: "The Iranian programme, about which we have been talking for quite a long time, is now a subject of an IAEA inquiry. And I think people are genuinely concerned about what the Iranians are doing. We were concerned quite a long time ago. Now everybody else is concerned. I think US credibility on these issues is actually quite high. Thank you very much." 11. Pan view as Rice leaves room STORYLINE: United States President George Bush has arranged to meet Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas next week in Jordan, as well as attending a separate summit in Egypt with Arab leaders. Bush's Middle East diplomacy represents his most direct involvement in attempting to end years of Israeli-Palestinian violence and to build support for a US-backed peace plan that envisions an independent Palestinian state as early as 2005. National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said Bush would meet with Arab leaders at the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik on Tuesday, June 3. The following day he will go to the Jordanian Port City of Aqaba, meeting first with Jordan's King Abdullah II and then, separately, with Sharon and Abbas. If things go well he, Sharon and Abbas will meet jointly. Rice said the president believed it was a good time for face to face meetings with regional leaders, but warned that it was going to be a long process," and its going to have ups and downs as it always has had." Rice said that three-way summit in Jordan would take place "conditions permitting" and that the President was watching to see if the parties were moving forward on the path to peace.
