13 December 1993

John Major and Michael Ancram met with Jim Molyneaux to get his thoughts on the latest draft of the Joint Declaration. He emphasised the importance of dropping the paragraphs on the Convention. It was agreed that Patrick Mayhew should take Ken Maginnins though the text prior to the release of the declaration, but not Ian Paisley. Further arrangements for John Major to discuss the text with Northern Irish constituional parties were also agreed. Molyneaux agreed to a line on the Joint Declaration which would focus on it being a 'complex' document, and suggested he provide editors with his own interpretations and readings of certain passages.
