Department of State, Confidential Cable
The US Embassy in Buenos Aires sends the Department of State an article published in the Argentine newspaper Clarin that they take "to reflect the Argentine [Government] position" of doubting Haig's role as an impartial negotiator.
"He [Haig] also carried a 'working draft' which was analyzed only by advisers from both sides here, and was not examined at the presidential level or by Foreign Minister Costa Mendez"
"Secretary Haig sought to use that draft – which at no time became an official document of the Argentine government – in his conversations with British authorities…With this draft the United States became a defender of Prime Minister Thatcher, instead of a friendly broker."
