Kissinger~~ SUBJECT: Correspondence from Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro has sent you a letter (Tab A) expressing appreciation for your recent message to him (copy at Tab B) providing advance information on your State of the Union address. The Prime Minister 1 s letter: -- indicates that the Italian Government has taken strong measures to reduce domestic oil consumption and discourage demand for non essential goods; -- states that Italy 1s following a tight money policy to reduce inflationary pressure, while at the same time adopting measures to insure maximum employment; -- recognizes the economic interdependence of nations and the necessity of close cooperation between countries in solving economic problems; -- agrees with you on the necessity of continuing close consultations on economic matters of mutual interest and concern, and; -- reaffirms the Prime Minister 1 s personal commitment, and that of the Italian Government, to dealing with these vital economic problems in the spirit of friendship and cooperation that exists between Italy and the United States. Prime Minister Moro 1 s warm letter is a clear indication of the importance that the Italians attach to being treated as a major partner in terms of close consultations on matters of importance. ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL Digitized from Box 2 of the NSA Presidential Correspondence with Foreign Leaders Collection at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library • ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL 2 The Moro government has enjoyed surprising popularity and stability since coming to power two months ago. Moro is considered by many to be a master of compromise and probably the best man to handle the difficult problems that confront Italy today. With national elections scheduled for June, he has gone ahead with a tough and potentially unpopular austerity program designed to get Italy back on an even keel both politically and economically. In this regard, on February 3 he announced plans to cut oil imports by about $600 million annually, to reduce petroleum consumption by 7 per cent, and to revamp the govern ment bureaucracy to gain greater efficiency. As the Prime Minister's letter responds to your earlier letter, there is no need for a further reply. ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL Digitized from Box 2 of the NSA Presidential Correspondence with Foreign Leaders Collection at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library • 01128 February 3rd, 1975 Dear General: I am enclosing herewith a letter of the Ita~ lian Prime Minister in response to the one that President Ford kindly addressed to h~ on the occa sion of the State of the Union message. I would be grateful if you could kindly for ward it to the President; for your convenience, I am enclosing.a rough translation as well.

Enclosures Digitized from Box 2 of the NSA Presidential Correspondence with Foreign Leaders Collection at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library Rome, January 27, 1975 Mr. President: I wish to express to you my deep appreciation for your kind message of Jan. 15, in which you have anticipated, in the spirit of cooperation that animates the relations bet I'Ve en our two countries, the principles of the economic measures you were proposing to the American people in the State of the Union address. Also in Italy measures have been taken, and others are being examined now, in order to reduce, in a selective way, the consumption of oil products and to discourage the demand for non essential goods. Furthermore, we follow a policy of rigid control on public expenses and of tight credit, with the purpose of slowing down the present inflationary pressures. vJhile pursuing such a policy, we are well aware of the need of substaining production in order to avoid repercussions on the occupational level: this is the same concern that you have very rightly underlined, Mr. President, in your letter and in your message to the American people. Interdependence of the various domestic situations and close cooperation are today not just a matter of political choices, but also objective data and common interests. I am, therefore, in agreement ~~th you on the necessity that governments of friendly countries should continue, on the basis of the first positive results_sb far achieved, the dialogue that has being taking shape, having in mind especially the importance of the energy problems in all their economic and financial implications. ./. .-~ Digitized from Box 2 of the NSA Presidential Correspondence with Foreign Leaders Collection at the Gerald R.

I shall, at that time, make a number of detailed proposals, many of which I outlined in my speech to the American people on Monday night. I write you in the spirit of collaboration that animates ~ur relations to share my thoughts on these new measures. Our countries and our key trading partners have recently been struggling ·.;.-i.th unemploy.u.ient, inflation, and energy ehortagcs. · There are, as we ~now~ no easy answers to any of these problems, singly or in combination, bu~ it is clear that we cannot afford to address one aspect of our difficulties while ignoring the others. Moreover, each country must act to achieve a balance consistent with its priorities and its particular economic circumstances while recognizing it must act in a manner which furthers rather than harms the economic well-being of other countries. My policies aim to deal directly with the economic slowdown we now face without triggering the major inflationary pres sures which might result from an overly expansionary policy. ~ . . A tax cut, along with measures to stimulate investment, should reinvigorate the U.S. economy and improve confidence. Under present conditions, we believe it will not restimulate the infla- tionary spiral. /"" We are also taking major steps to reduce our dependence on . ,., .. q imported oil. We are determined to reduce oil imports promptly and significantly and to end vulnerability to economic '~- ·-· Digitized from Box 2 of the NSA Presidential Correspondence with Foreign Leaders Collection at the Gerald R.

Immediate actions to cut energy imports and to inc.rease both our domestic supplies and our ability to use our coal, gas, oil and nuclear power are clearly necessary as are strong measures to ensure adequate conservation and a new emergency storage program. These steps make new demands on the American people. At the same time, they provide the basis for a stronger U. S. economy in the future. · This, in turn~· should have a beneficial impact on the international economy. In closing, let me emphasize the importance I have attached to having had the benefit of your views on these issues in recent months. We are strongly committed to working with your government and others in confronting our common problems. While much remains to be done, we are encouraged by the positive steps which have been taken recently. For our mutual well-being, it is imperative that we continue developing a common approach in dealing with energy problems and that we continue to coordinate closely in confronting our economic difficulties. ·I look forward to staying in close touch with you on these important issues.

Resolution of these questions will help assure the continued viability of the liberal trade and payments system which is so essential to world prosperity in the coming years. Sound agreements on gold and exchange rates are clearly important to every country. In addition, less developed nations will particularly benefit from the planned IMF quota increase and measures to mobilize IMF gold. For these reasons, I place great importance on progress at the upcoming meetings of the Bank and the Fund. I am, therefore, authorizing Secretary Simon to exercise further flexibility on the gold is sue. I· In taking this step I have kept in mind the particular interest of Italy in mobilizing its official reserves of gold. I hope this flexibility by the United States on gold will pave the way for agreement on a full package of amendments to the IMF Articles as well as the quota increase.

The Italian Delegation, headed by :rf.inister Colombo, sought, both in the \'/ashington meetings and in those preparatory sessions of the E.E.C. Ministers under the Italian Presidency, last held in Venice on August 24, to reach an agreement that would open the monetary dis cussions, at least with regards to some important points. The positive results that were obtained on the gold question and on the International Monetary Fund's quotas, constitute a testimony of the goodwill of the United States and of the Community in dealing with the world's monetary problems. The discussions concerning the exchange rate, will be pursued with the same constructive spirit by the Italians, whose objective is to reach a formula that will reconcile existing differences. ',.-..

I refer in this regard to the conversations that we had in Helsinki and in particular, to Minister Rumor's meet ing with Secretary of State Kissinger. In effect, the action which the Italian Government intends to pursue, presupposes the participation of my country in all of the forums in which international policy in the economic and monetary areas are elaborated and agreed upon.

Ford Presidential Library • MEMORANDUM [r'D PUS IDE~T HAS SDll .... 5977-6402 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON INFORMATION October 13, 1975 MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT FROM: BRENT SCOWCROFT SUBJECT: Responses from Wilson, Schmidt, and Moro to your Letters on Gold Prime Minister Wilson, Chancellor Schmidt, and Prime Minister Moro have responded to your messages of September 1 conveying a more flexible US position on gold. In the Interim Committee, agreement was reached on new IMF quotas, on reducing the vote required for a veto from 20% to 15%, abolition of an official price for gold, elimination of the obligation to use gold in transactions with the IMF, sale of one-sixth of the Fund's gold (25 million ounces) for benefit of the developing countries, and restitution of the same amount to its original owners. Wilson (Tab A) believes that your additional flexibility was an important element in the overall results of the meeting of the Interim Committee. He hopes and believes that it will now be possible to complete in coming months a comprehensive agreement covering, in particular, outstanding is sues relating to exchange rates. Schmidt (Tab B) also believes that US flexibility was a significant factor in paving the way for progress in the Interim Committee. He states that future progress toward broader agreement should not be impaired by differences of opinion over the future exchange rate system (viz. France vs. the US). He expects that the gap between the different views will be narrowed, and warns that an unnecessarily tough discussion could damage present efforts to stimulate economic activity, reduce inflation and fight inflation and payments imbalances. He indicates that he will do all in his power "in an undogmatic spirit" to play a mediating role. Moro (Tab C) states that the positive results obtained in gold and IMF quotas were testimony of the goodwill of the US and the European Community in dealing with world monetary problems. He affirms that Italy intends to Si5CRET-fGDS W, .3>/ ~ / o'{ Digitized from Box 2 of the NSA Presidential Correspondence with Foreign Leaders Collection at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library • 2 pursue discussion concerning exchange rates in the same constructive spirit, with the goal of reaching a formula that will reconcile existing differences. He underlines the point, made to you in Helsinki, that Italy's ability to play a constructive role on these matters will be made more difficult if major financial issues are discussed in meetings limited to five countries, i.e., excluding Italy. Constructive action by Italy "presupposes Italy's participation in all of the forums in which international policies in the economic and monetary areas are elaborated and agreed upon." I do not believe that replies to the three heads of government are required. ,,.
