The United Nations Industry and Development Organization today conferred observer status on a representative of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The PLO man, Ghazi Hussein, presented his credentials to Abdel Rahman Khane, director of the UN sub-agency. Hussein is expected to get accreditation from the International Atomic Energy Agency, another UN agency headquartered in Vienna, within the next few days.

He will also head the new PLO office here but he has refused to disclose plans about future relations between the PLO and the Austrian government. The government permitted Hussein to open the PLO office here after the UN General Assembly granted the PLO observer status in 1975.
