Record of Peter Westmacott's conversations with Mary Ann Peters, Martha Pope, George Mitchell and Peter King on 11 July 1996

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

This document records Peter Westmacott's various conversations with Mary Ann Peters [Director for European and Canadian Affairs, National Security Council], Martha Pope [George Mitchell's Chief of Staff], George Mitchell [US Senator and Chairman of the Belfast Peace Talks], and Peter King [US Congressman], which took place on the 11 July 1996. Peters told Westmacott that the Chief Constable's decision to permit the Orange Order parade to pass Garvaghy Road had sent a harmful message about the willingness of the RUC [Royal Ulster Constabulary] to give in to mob pressure, and that it had risked undermining the RUC's good work from the past year. Westmacott explained that the Chief Constable's decision had been taken on operational grounds, to prevent the convergence of a Protestant mob on Drumcree. He also spoke to Pope and Mitchell, both of whom expressed sympathy for the position that the Chief Constable had found himself in. Westmacott also mentioned that US Congressman Peter King had issued a statement criticising the RUC, and that Westmacott had tried to get in touch with his office to explain the Chief Constable's situation, and though his staff had passed on this explanation, he had still not heard from King himself.
