The source said a special envoy of Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky met Palestinian officials to discuss a proposed exchange of prisoners between Israel and the PLO. The principal condition was that Israel should recognize its PLO captives as prisoners of war and should admit holding 300 Palestinian fighters who were missing during last year's Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the source added.
