Obama Administration Discussing Plan for Mubarak to Quit Immediately

The Obama administration is discussing with Egyptian
officials a proposal for President Hosni Mubarak to resign
immediately, turning over power to a transitional government
headed by Vice President Omar Suleiman with the support of
the Egyptian military, administration officials and Arab
diplomats said Thursday.

Even though Mr. Mubarak has balked, so far, at leaving now,
officials from both governments are continuing talks about a
plan in which, Mr. Suleiman, backed by Sami Enan, chief of
the Egyptian armed forces, and Field Marshal Mohamed Tantawi,
the Defense Minister, would immediately begin a process of
constitutional reform.

The proposal also calls for the transitional government to
invite members from a broad range of opposition groups,
including the banned Muslim Brotherhood, to begin work to
open up the country's electoral system in an effort to bring
about free and fair elections in September, the officials
said.
