Paul Murphy, MP, Minister of State at the Northern Ireland Office, in a letter dated 10 September 1997, addressed to David Trimble of the Ulster Unionist Party, discusses the appointment of members to the Independent International Commission on Decommissioning. The British and Irish Governments have consulted with the Finnish, Canadian, and US Governments to identify suitable candidates, resulting in the nomination of Brigadier (retired) Tauno Nieminen from Finland, Mr Donald Johnson from the US, and Lieutenant General (retired) Jack Dangerfield from Canada. The letter highlights the impressive qualifications of these nominees and mentions that the Prime Minister [Tony Blair] and the Taoiseach [Bertie Ahern] are pleased with their potential service.
