The UUP minutes from the talks on 11 June 1996, document the proceedings of the first session, which commenced at 09.14 with the attendance of key members from the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP). Mayhew mentioned that the British Government had engaged in a series of bilateral meetings the previous evening and had prepared a paper outlining a possible way forward, which would be circulated to all parties within 20 minutes, with a reconvening time set for 11.00. David Trimble proposed extending the consultation period to reconvene at 11.30, which John Alderdice confirmed. Seamus Mallon inquired about the status and authorship of the paper, to which Mayhew responded that it was prepared with the authority of both governments and had been drafted overnight, with some input from the UUP. Mallon emphasized the importance of consulting George Mitchell, considering his crucial role, and found it offensive not to include him. The session concluded with Mayhew noting issues of confidentiality and adjourned until 11.00 closing at 09.20.
