Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

John Taylor, MP, in a statement made on 11 May 1996, expressed caution to Unionists regarding the campaign by the Irish to appoint USA Senator George Mitchell as Chairman of Strand Two and Strand Three of the multi-party talks. Taylor acknowledged the USA's recent recognition of the Unionist community's parity but warned that having an American chair the talks determining Northern Ireland's constitutional future could be problematic. He noted the USA's predominant political sympathy for a united Ireland and emphasized the need for a genuinely impartial chairman. Taylor also mentioned the unprecedented invitation of Ulster Unionists to the British Ambassador's Annual White House St. Patrick's Day event as a positive gesture.
