Those present:
Independent Chairmen Senator Mitchell General de Chastelain Mr Holkeri
Government Teams British Government Irish Government
Parties Alliance Party Labour Party Northern Ireland Women's Coalition Progressive Unionist Party Social Democratic and Labour Party Ulster Democratic Party Ulster Democratic Unionist Party United Kingdom Unionist Party Ulster Unionist Party
1. _The Chairman_ called the meeting to order. He said that the Governments and the other participants who had been involved in bilateral talks had advised him that while some progress had been made on the issues in contention there was no prospect of an agreement on those matters being reached that evening. The Chairman thought it advisable therefore to inform those participants who were not presently involved in bilateral meetings that they could leave. The bilateral meetings would\, however\, continue for those participants who wished to stay on.
2. The _Chairman_ proposed that full round table discussions would in Plenary format at 10.00 on Monday 29 July. He said that it would probably be a lengthy and hopefully productive session. The Plenary would proceed immediately to the adoption of paragraphs 30-36 in the rules of procedure in relation to the decision making process and it will then work its way through the various items that had been agreed for adoption. He envisaged it then breaking at 12 noon until 14.00 for the purposes of lunch and to enable bilateral meetings to continue on the agenda for the Opening Plenary. The Chairman hoped that agreement would be reached on the latter items by that time.
