Falklands: FCO minute (0445Z) ("US Help") [call by UK Ambassador to Washington Henderson to FCO; Henderson "confident that the US would strongly condemn the invasion if it took place"] [declassified 2012]

Document type: Declassified documents
Source: 13. Documents released to the Margaret Thatcher Foundation per FOI request 0181-12.
Editorial comments:

Henderson called at 0545, presumably BST, hence 0445Z. This document was derived from the Private Office files of Lord Carrington, as prepared for submission to the Franks Inquiry. The originals are due to be accessioned in due course by TNA where they will be found within FCO archives.
