Editorial comments:

Listed by date and time the briefing was delivered. The intelligence element seems to have been correct up to 0700Z.

There is perhaps some reason to doubt the final briefing is complete. Annotations appear to be in Lewin's handwriting.

An unannotated copy of the briefing on Argentine capability to withstand a siege is copied to DEFE13/1484 f126.
