The fundamental lemma for standard endoscopy follows from the matching of unit elements in Hecke algebras. A simple form of the stable trace formula, based on the matching of unit elements, shows the fundamental lemma to be equivalent to a collection of character identities. These character identities are established by comparing them to a compact-character expansion of orbital integrals.

I would like to thank R. Kottwitz for guiding me repeatedly in the right direction on this project. I would also like to thank G. Henniart for explaining the method of Section 5 to me and L. Clozel for providing an argument at the archimedean places.
