We suggest a new technique to determine the CKM phase $\gamma$ {\em without} neglecting the (soft) final state rescattering effects. We use (time integrated) $B$ meson decay rates to $\pi$'s and $K$'s. A set of 5 $\Delta S = 0$ (or 1…

We describe a method for determining gamma using B^+- -> D K^+- decays followed by a multibody D decay. In the talk we focus on K_S pi^- pi^+ final state, but other modes such as D -> K_S K^- K^+ and D -> K_S pi^- pi^+ pi^0 can also be…
