The thesis of this article is that the timing of the Malvinas inva- sion, and the subsequent miscalculation that the United States would tacitly assist Argentina, were partly shaped by U.S. policies. Al- though the principal motive for the invasion was to vindicate a claim stretching back to the early 19th century (U.S. House 1982c: 50-51; Etchepareborda, 1983: 48-58), the abruptness of Argentina’s actions was conditioned by Reagan administration overtures towards a grand “anti-Communist” alliance (Maechling, 1982: 75-82; SundayTimes, 1982: 63); an increase in the frequency and prestige of high-level contacts between the U.S. and Argentina between 1980-1982; the cultivation of official links between Galtieri and high-ranking U.S. national security officials (U.S. House, 1982d: 67; Hastings and Jenkins, 1983: 46); the intense, personal diplomacy of former Secretary of State Haig during the conflict (Hastings and Jenkins, 1983: 104- 113); and by covert efforts by Argentina to extend and strengthen U.S.-Argentine ties (Cardoso et al., 1983: 60-61).
In the example above,
My questions are: what does the letter c and d in bold mean in the two references? Where can I find the source of the references if I just see “U.S. House” or “Maechling” for example?
Please help me. Thank you very much.
The list of references is at the end of the article. Page 22 in your case:

I’m such an idiot…
They are in the section of references.
Thank you so much.
Those letters are used to distinguish different sources by the same author im the same year. In many citation formats you’re referring, in the footnote, to author name (in this case, Congress as an institutional author) plus year, and the bibliography then contains the full reference. But if the same author is included in the bibliography with several publications from the same year, that would not be unambiguous, so the letters are used to distinguish between them.
Thank you, Schnitte.
I love this forum.
