Bell describes Clark's itinerary for each country, noting the central role of Jordan with regard to the Arab-Israeli dispute. Questions from the press include concerns about: the itinerary of Maureen McTeer, Clark's wife; the value of trade between Canada and the Middle East; peace efforts; and the position of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries as a probable topic for discussion during the Minister's visit. <30mn>Subjects:CANADA~INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS~MIDDLE EAST~PRESS CONFERENCES ~BELL, MICHAEL~CLARK, JOE~MCTEER, MAUREEN~SHERWOOD, PERCYLanguage:EnglishDetailed holdings information: -
