He has been a militant political leader\nand Socialist for most of his life. During the late\n1940's and early 1950's the Socialists under Nenni's\nleadership cooperated closely with the Italian Com-\nmunists. Disillusioned and shocked by the Soviet\ninvasion of Hungary in 1956, Nenni played a decisive\nrole in the Socialists' break with the Communists and\nsubsequent decision to join forces in government\ncoalition with the Christian Democrats and to reunify\nthe Socialist and Social Democratic Parties.\nIn the process of this transformation, Nenni\nabandoned the neutralist views he once held and stands\nnow as a firm supporter of NATO, although he occa-\nsionally likes to stress its \"defensive\" and\n\"geographically limited\" character. Nenni is a strong\nadvocate of disarmament and it was primarily due to\nhis efforts that Italy signed the non-proliferation\nagreement in January 1969. Nenni also favors European\nintegration and U.K. entry into the EC; prior to be-\n25X1\ncoming Foreign Minister, he was frequently a vocal\ncritic of de Gaulle.\n25X1\nNenni is now 78\n25X1\nHe remains articulate and fairly\nvigorous for his age, but he is not as active as he\nonce was.\nNenni visited this country in 1965 to attend the\nPacem in Terris Conference in New York. He did not\nhowever come to Washington on that occasion. When the\nPresident visited Rome in 1957, he had no contact with\nNenni since Nenni had not completely broken with the\nCommunists at that time. He speaks no English.\nCONFIDENTIAL\nNo Objection To Declassification 2008/06/13 : NLN-NSC-443-1-1-1"
