In a letter addressed to David Trimble, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland outlines a collaborative effort with the Irish Government to draft a proposal on handling the decommissioning issue. The enclosed paper, agreed upon by both governments, is intended to serve as a draft statement for plenary conclusions on decommissioning. The proposal emphasizes the establishment of a structured approach to decommissioning alongside political negotiations, including commitments from both governments to introduce enabling legislation and the formation of an Independent Commission. The letter stresses the importance of mutual trust and confidence-building measures, and the need for all parties to work constructively towards implementing the recommendations of the International Body. The Secretary of State urges Trimble to carefully consider the proposal and to discuss his reactions at the upcoming trilateral meeting, highlighting the significance of moving forward on this basis to ensure progress in the negotiations. [The letter was written by Joanna Nixon, on behalf of the Secretary of State]
