Minute of Understanding [between President Kennedy and Prime Minister Fanfani]
This document was made possible with support from Carnegie Corporation of New York (CCNY)
The two leaders signed off on a “minute of understanding” expressing their understanding on the MLF, replacement of Jupiters with Polaris by April 1, the substitution of Sergeant for Corporal missiles, and the possibility of using the Jupiters for “space experiments.” In accordance with Fanfani’s request, the minute was retyped to leave out the reference to bases in the Mediterranean.
