Falklands: MT annotation of US draft proposals (1700Z) (Haig take it or leave it plan) [delivered via Pym & unacceptable to MT] [declassified 2012]

Document type: Declassified documents
Source: PREM19/621 f283
Editorial comments:

Although dated 23 April, the proposals seem to have been delivered to MT by Pym on the morning of 24 April when he called on her at No.10, 0830-10.30am, accompanied by Antony Acland and Julian Bullard. The handwritten words "American draft 23 April" look to be in Bullard's writing.

She annotated the document during the day in preparation for the OD(SA) meeting at 6pm. Timed on the assumption she was working on it until close to the meeting itself.
