TP-17 - 4 - SECRET Middle East The Italians will: -- agree in principle with the idea of four-power meetings in the context of the UN. -- but stress their concern that because of Italy's special position in the area, it should also have an active role and have its voice heard. -- stress Italian economic interests in the Middle East. -- note past Italian efforts to exert constructive influence on the parties, as, for example, at the time of the hijacking of the Israeli plane to Algiers. -- note Italian soundings regarding the possibility of resumed U.S. -Algerian relations. -- point out Italian economic interests in the opening of the Suez Canal. You should: -- acknowledge Italy's special interests and role. -- lay out our general approach on the basis of the talking paper on the Middle East (Tab C). NPT The Italians will: -- note certain advantages, as they see them, from a delay between U.S. ratification of the Treaty and deposit of the instruments of ratification. -- note that such a delay would permit coordination of the time of U.S. and Soviet ratification in order to avoid last-minute reservations or interpretations by the USSR.
