No Objection to Declassification in Part 2011/01/18: LOC-HAK-180-6-76-2 The agency reported the following on the POW problem in its October 30 sitrep (5:30 p.m.) Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan today announced the agreement between Egypt and Israel for a mutual exchange of wounded prisoners of war. Dayan's announcement was appar ently made before the Egyptians tied the POW release to an Israeli withdrawal to the 22 October lines, and may there- fore be subject to retraction. He said Egypt has submitted a list of only 82 Israeli POWs captured in the 1967 and 1973 wars; of these, he believes about 60 are wounded. In ex- change, Dayan announced, Israel will release 75 wounded Egyptian POWs as well as wounded Egyptian soildiers of the stranded Third Army. The Defense Minister said that Svria has not responded to the POW exchange proposal. No Objection to Declassification in Part 2011/01/18: LOC-HAK-180-6-76-2
