Writing Peace: The National Archives of the UK (TNA)

This document summarizes David Cooke's assessment of where things stood with regards to the Joint Declaration initiative. It discusses the reception of the Declaration among different audiences, and notes the tension and speculation that followed the Hume/Adams statement of 25 September 1993. Cooke also discussed the latest amendments in the draft text which referred to the British Government's commitment to constitutional guarantee for Northern Ireland. The issue of securing Jim Molyneaux's support was also set out. Cooke noted that he believed that the an explicit reference to the constitutional guarantee was a political imperative for the British Government. This document differs slightly from another document of the same name enclosed by Patrick Mayhew and sent to Prime Minister John Major. Parts of the document have been annotated, and some sentences have been crossed out.
