Falklands War Documents - White House, Secret Situation Room immediate cable

April 15, 1982 (15:30 EST) – Falklands Islands Dispute
White House, Secret Situation Room immediate cable

Secretary Haig informs U.S. Embassy London that 

"the Argentines have now provided us with their language on decolonization.  As promised, we are providing it to HMG [Her Majesty's Government]."  He then writes to U.K. Foreign Secretary Francis Pym: "The problems with this language are all too obvious. Nevertheless, perhaps taking as a starting point the language we left on Tuesday morning, we would appreciate receiving a formulation without delay so that we can try to bring the Argentines to it."
