2. A handwritten notation on the source text indicates that this telegram was seen by Hartley. Gadel 120 to New York, January 25, reads: “Confirming Pratt-Hartley telecon, Delegation authorized accept Argentine suggestion that in lieu two Argentine amendments there be added end second operative paragraph draft resolutions phrase ‘and to report Assembly soon as possible.’” (Ibid.) Pratt was presumably James W. Pratt of the Political and Security Affairs Staff of the Mission at the United Nations.
