2. Mr. President:
As of 1900 hours local, we have completed first round with very little give here. Argentines now reviewing situation with President Galtieri and probably with Junta. Meanwhile, we remain in holding pattern at the Foreign Ministry. Nothing that has transpired thus far in this initial round changes the assessment I provided you from the aircraft enroute here yesterday.2 We are not at point where break is inevitable. But events could unfold rapidly, even this evening. Warm regards, Al.
