Document type: Declassified documents
Venue: White House
Source: Reagan Library (NSC Meetings Box 6)
Editorial comments:

0945-1052 EDT = 1345-1452 GMT. The holograph notes are in the handwriting of Colonel Mike Wheeler, the NSC notetaker. No typed minutes appear to survive in this file. Perhaps they were never written up, because there is no sign that such a document has been closed for review. Nor is there the customary covernote submitting the complete minutes to the National Security Adviser.

A list of planned attendees and seating plan follows the handwritten minutes.
