1[Exact date and time unknown] Ó hUiginn met with Hume to hear a report of the latter's meeting with Major on 16 September 1993. This conversation may have taken place during previous meetings: we have no record of the date of the meeting, so we have used the date of the minute to model it.
111[Exact time unknown] The second Hume-Adams statement was issued on 25 September 1993. It announced that their discussions had made further progress and that they had put a proposal to Dublin. This session has been created to show the statement being received.
1[Exact time unknown] John Hume met the Taoiseach to discuss the Hume/Adams statement and the Joint Declaration initiative.
111[Exact time unknown] Reynolds, Spring, Ó hUiginn, and an SDLP delegation led by Hume met on 14 November 1993. Items discussed included the UK and Unionist position on the draft declaration with the Tánaiste stating that “Adams was anathema, and that the UK feared a Unionist backlash” and Reynolds stating that “the UK would probably never slam the door. Their main interest was to push the talks process”.
[Exact time unknown] Seán Ó hUiginn met with John Hume. Hume stated his approval of the Irish government's handling of the peace process, gave his reaction to the UK draft declaration of 25 November 1993 and discussed writing a letter to Major.
[Exact time unknown] On the afternoon of 8 December 1993, Albert Reynolds met with John Hume and Séamus Mallon to urge them to support the Joint Declaration.
221[Exact date and time unknown] During a meeting between Irish officials and Roderic Lyne, the Irish delegation proposed amendments that they said had been initially suggested by John Hume. Since one of the amendments was to a British government amendment reported to the Irish government on the evening of 9 December 1993, the editors have modelled a bilateral meeting with John Hume on the morning of 10 December 1993.
