David Trimble, Leader of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), provides a briefing note dated 12 June 1996, detailing the progress of negotiations at Castle Buildings. The note outlines the UUP's united stance with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and the United Kingdom Unionist Party (UKUP) against the procedural guidelines released on 6 June 1996, which they found unacceptable due to the extensive powers granted to the Chairman. Despite initial disagreements, the UUP proposed adopting procedural guidelines from the 1992 Talks, which were ultimately rejected by the Nationalists. Trimble emphasizes that the UUP's efforts have led to an agreement that allows all parties to contribute to setting a reasonable agenda, thereby restoring control of the talks to the people of Northern Ireland and enhancing the chances for agreement.
