These UUP minutes document the proceedings of the first session of the talks held on Monday, 10 June 1996. David Trimble of the Ulster Unionist Party initiated the discussion by questioning the procedural agenda for the day. Sir Patrick Mayhew clarified that the session would begin with introductory remarks from the two Prime Ministers, followed by a short adjournment and then discussions on the chairmanship, its functions, selection, and other opening matters. Ian Paisley raised concerns about the legality of invitations issued by Dick Spring, questioning whether John Bruton was acting as co-chairman or leader of the Irish delegation. Mayhew assured that he alone issued the invitations and welcomed Bruton as the head of the Irish delegation. Robert McCartney sought clarification on the selection of the chairman, emphasizing that George Mitchell should be chosen by the delegates, not imposed by the governments. Mayhew reiterated that the agenda was a set of proposals and that democratic accountability would be upheld. Peter Robinson inquired about the media's presence, and Mayhew confirmed they would leave once the Prime Ministers began speaking. The session proceeded with speeches from John Major and John Bruton, followed by a 15-minute adjournment. [The session started at 14.12 and ended at 15.03.]
