Editorial comments:

Authorship inferred from internal evidence - Blanco was the official Williams first spoke with about the South Georgia incident as related in para I of this document. Date estimated 1 April. Unfortunately p2 of the document is missing, and is not present in the original file itself apparently, judgling from the folio numbers. At this time Ambassador Carlos Lucas Blanco was Director-General of the Malvinas and Antarctic section of the Argentine MFA, effectively no.3 in the hierarchy regarding Falklands business. Published online April 2022. Read other documents selected from this file.
