Israelis mull new proposal on Palestinian self determination
TEL AVIV AP The Israeli government eases its stance on Palestinian self determination in the West Bank and Gaza and may send Defense Minister Ezer Weizman to Cairo to revive peace talks with Egypt. A state radio proposal accepts Palestinian participation in determining their future, but stops short of full self determination.

Egypt's ambassador to the U.S. Ashraf Ghorbal carried a message from President Carter to Sadat, while UN chief Arafat was to meet.
