MY VISIT TO ROME IN OCTOBER

д

•

1. HKD HAVE FAXED TO ME A COPY OF MOODEY'S NOTE OF YOUR DISCUSSION WITH WEBB-JOHNSON ON 17 MAY ABOUT MY VISIT I AM GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE DETAILED THOUGHT THAT IS GOING INTO PLANNING MY TRIP, WHICH LOOKS TO BE VERY MUCH ON THE RIGHT LINES.

2. TWO EXTRA POINTS FOR THE RECORD:

(A) THE ITALIAN CONSUL-GENERAL HERE INDICATED TO ME ON 5 JUNE THAT THERE WAS A GOOD PROSPECT OF A CALL ON THE ITALIAN PM DURING MY VISIT. I SHOULD OF COURSE BE KEEN TO DO THIS IF INDEED IT IS PRACTICABLE. WEBB-JOHNSON WILL I THINK FOLLOW UP WITH YOU ON THIS.

(B) MOODEY'S NOTE SUGGESTS THAT I MIGHT WISH TO MAKE A SPEECH AT

I YOUR DINNER. NOT SO (UNLESS OF COURSE YOU WISHED ME TO EXCLAM). WOULD HOWEVER PLAN TO MAKE A MAJOR SPEECH AT THE LUNCH GIVEN BY THE FEDERATION OF ITALIAN INDUSTRIES.
