In Cairo, Chairman Arafat and PM Rabin sign the 186-page Gaza-Jericho self-rule accord (Cairo Agreement), witnessed by Pres. Mubarak, Sec. of State Christopher, Russian FM Andrei Kozyrev, Norwegian FM Godal, and hundreds of others. Arafat hesitates at signing the accompanying maps over wrong size of the Jericho area, but is reassured that the issue is subject to further negotiation. Arafat asks for a 3-week delay in withdrawal to allow the PLO to prepare for taking power.
