EconOff delivered reftel points March 3 to Claudio Spinedi 
and Giuseppina Zarra of MFA's Directorate General for 
Multilateral Economic and Financial Cooperation. PolOff also 
delivered reftel points March 3 to Umberto Malnati, Office 
Director for Southern Africa. Zarra told EconOff March 8 
that Italy will vote to restore Zimbabwe voting rights at the 
March 8 IMF meeting. Zarra said that while Italy agrees with 
reftel points, it would send "too strong of a political 
signal" to vote against Zimbabwe's voting rights.
