The report finds that despite the many obstacles, a peace settlement in Sudan is possible in the near term. The report recommends that the United States continue to serve as an intermediary between the parties, pursuing peace with and through the ongoing regional peace initiative.

The President is grateful for the effort and dedication of Senator Danforth in his mission of peace.
