A time\nline attached to the Memorandum defines an exchange of Israeli redeployments from the West Bank\nfor concrete security measures to be taken by the Palestinians. Congress may be concerned about\nprovisions that appear to expand the U.S. role, especially about unusually visible Central\nIntelligence Agency activity concerning implementation of security measures and U.S. aid\ncommitments.
