MITCHELL ON THE PEACE PROCESS
11/13/97 10:50 EST

George Mitchell, has compared the negotiations to a
nerve-wracking cowboy film. Speaking to the Los Angeles
Times, he said his time in Belfast had been rewarding, but
not without its nervous moments. "When I was a kid in Maine,
every Saturday at the movies the cowboy serial episode would
end in a cliff-hanger. Would the hero survive until next
week? It's been much the same here." He said he had
criss-crossed the Atlantic 100 times in the last two
years. "This is extremely demanding, every difficult for me
in the personal sense because of my family, but I am here
because I believe this is a worthwile cause. "I believe
there is an historic opportunity to end centuries of
conflict. The process has gone further than ever before, and
I am committed to seeing it through."
