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.
