U-S President Bill Clinton is returning to the Camp David Summit after attending the G-8 meeting in Japan.

President Clinton is due to land at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington later on Sunday.

He will travel immediately to Camp David, Maryland, where Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat have been in talks since 11th July.

State Department spokesman Richard Boucher says President Clinton will assess the status of the talks before deciding what to do next.

At a media briefing on Sunday afternoon Boucher said informal discussions have been
taking place throughout the weekend.
