Key Facts
President Reagan travels to Venice, Italy for the 13th G7 Economic Summit.
President Reagan is greeted by Prime Minister of Italy Amintore Fanfani.
Students from James Madison High school present for our take off on S. Lawn, also a large crowd & Marine band. Students gave Nancy flowers & I got a lapel pin—U.S. flag. Out to Andrews & A.F.1. We had breakfast on the plane and about 2:30 Calif. time 8:30 Venice time dinner. At 9:42 Venice time it was still daylight—where we were it was 7:42 & 3:42 in Wash. Flight is 8 hrs. & 20 min. & we arrive at 11:20 P.M.
We were met by the Fanfanis & Ambas. & Mrs. Rabb. I reviewed the honor guard & then it was Marine 1 to [Villa] Condulmer—an ancient palace. Very beautiful but not quite as convenient as a Hilton hotel. It was about midnight when we arrived and 1:30 A.M. for lights out. I took a Dalmain & actually dropped off to sleep & awoke at 8:45. I sneaked out of bed & had breakfast. Nancy awoke at about 10 A.M.
