Editorial comments:

2130 Buenos Aires - 0030 GMT. The meeting evidently continued late into the evening, over dinner and beyond.

Translated by Bard, interrogated by site editor. Spanish text published online April 2022. Assumed to be a Presidential record. Read other documents selected from this file.

No US record of this conversation appears to have been made; certainly none was found by FRUS (see footnote 8 to document 90). Haig discusses the meeting in Caveat pp281-82.
