Washington, D.C. 20009 Unofficial translation of the letter addressed to President Reagan from the President of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Italy. "Dear Ron, On returning to Italy I would like to express my deep appreciation for the extremely cordial and warm reception you gave me on the occasion of my brief but useful visit to Washington. During the course of the talks I had with you we made a stimulating and constructive analysis of the themes that will be discussed at the next Summit of the Seven. I was able to examine these issues further in my talks with Secretary of State Shultz and Secretary of the Treasury Baker. I am sure that the elements that emerged from these meetings will foster the quest for con- vergence and understanding in the course of our work agenda in Venice, hopefully enabling us to outline strong initiatives and proposals which can solve some of the major problems we will be called upon to tackle. With these hopes I renew my thanks and look forward to welcoming you in Venice shortly. With best wishes, Amintore Fanfani" J Art 1987 JUN 25 25 FM 12 35 3 PAUNC BOOUMENT AMALYSIS Il Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri Roma, 1° giugno 1987 Caro Ron, di ritorno in Italia, desidero esprimerLe la mia più viva riconoscenza per l'accoglienza estremamen- te cordiale e particolarmente amichevole che Ella ha voluto riservarmi in occasione della mia breve ma pro- ficua visita a Washington.
