As the Administration once again considers using force against Iraq, President Clinton met for two hours with his senior national security aides at Camp David, Md., to discuss strategies for responding to Iraq's new defiance of the United Nations weapons inspections. A1 Dalai Lama Courts Support The Dalai Lama, courting support for a new initiative that he hopes will lead to talks with Chinese leaders, is expected to meet with Vice President Al Gore at the White House during his current visit to Washington.
