The standoff with Saddam Hussein may be over.
Iraq says it will allow U-S weapons inspectors to return to Baghdad as early
as today.
The official Iraqi news agency reports Iraq will allow weapons inspections
to resume under a deal worked out with Russian negotiators.
In return, Russian officials will lobby for lifting U-N sanctions.
President Clinton welcomes the agreement but is taking a wait and see
attitude.
So the military buildup continues.
The last of the warplanes ordered to the Persian Gulf left for Kuwait this
morning from Langley Air Force base in Hampton.

Such gifts are legal in Virginia.
