This document provides an account of a meeting between Philip McDonagh and Quentin Thomas that took place on 6 August 1996. Points of discussion included the continuing absence of agreement over the Apprentice Boys parade in Derry, the consequences of the events in Drumcree, the prospects for a ceasefire, and the next steps in the negotiations. Thomas stated that in his view the two Governments had three options regarding their policy regarding the talks — a continuation of their present policy, further reforms under direct rule, and movement in the direction of an "imposed solution". Thomas also proposed a possible solution to the decommissioning problem, which included a commitment by the two Governments to introduce legislation on decommissioning, and the creation of a "work programme" for the sub-committee on decommissioning.
