1. On May 24, Science Counselor delivered the text in ref A
to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Italian Space Agency
(ASI),and the Italian National Research Council. On June 7,
Counselor Giovanni Manfredi, Chief of Office VI (S&T
Cooperation) at the MFA's Directorate General for
Multilateral Economic and Financial Cooperation, provided the
Ministry's response. Manfredi informed us that the GOI
considers the U.S. draft proposal on high level space debris
to be compatible with Italian proposals on the same subject,
and therefore accepts the U.S. draft. He added that the
Italian delegation would like to continue discussing space
debris mitigation with the American delegation in Vienna next
week at the COPUOS intersessional working group meeting from
June 13-16.


2. In a separate communication, Gabriella Arrigo, Head of
ASI's Office for International Relations with non-European
Space Agency/EU Countries, informed us that the GOI would
support the U.S. draft text and would work with the U.S.
delegation to improve it.
