Greek Ambassador C. O. Panayotacos yesterday assured American Jewish Congress officials that the release by the government of Greece of two convicted Palestinian terrorists earlier this month would not set a precedent for such cases in the future. Panayotacos gave this assurance at a meeting at the Greek Embassy with Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, president, and Phil Baum, associate executive director of the Congress, who requested the meeting. The two terrorists, who killed five and wounded 55 at Athens Airport last summer were released to Libya.
