((In the sixth day of their seclusion at Camp David, the White House says the pace of the summit negotiations HAS picked up, but the talks remain difficult, and at times, tense.
Still, no official word of progress. Reports hinted at everything from Palestinian optimism to Israeli pessimism over reaching a deal -- dueling characterizations the White House laughed off.

(SOT/JOE LOCKHART/WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN)
"There's a lot of people talking, a lot of them DON'T know what they're talking about, ah/ It's entertaining..(laughing)"

(NARR:)

The President leaves Wednesday for an economic summit in Japan -- which puts added pressure on both sides to come to at least a partial agreement.
At stake are the most difficult issues: how much of the West Bank Israel gives back... what to do about millions of Palestinian refugees... and the status of east Jerusalem -- the city both sides want to claim as their capital.
In a effort to cement a deal,-- the President has lobbying Congress for a massive aid package -- billions of dollars to compensate Palestinian refugees, build up Israeli defenses, and help relocate military borders and bases.
With such a high price tag... some Republican leaders are questioning the willingness of Congress to pour the budget surplus into foreign aid.

"Look, we're talking about the American taxpayers' dollars. We WANT Middle East peace, but we better be very careful with how those dollars are used."
