Eagle-eyed TPM Reader PP sent me this ABC News political calendar which includes this detail …
Oct. 31, 2005: President Bush hosts Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi at the White House for a meeting and lunch, Washington, DC.

Can I come to lunch too?
Joint press conference? Press questions before the meeting?
