China Message to Italian Foreign Minister

The Secretary of State learned in Luxembourg over the weekend that de Michelis will visit Peking at the end of May. He wants to send him a message a few days before he goes. Grateful if WED would try to pin down de Michelis' precise plans, and if you would prepare a draft message. You may wish to consult Simon Gass about coverage.
