PROVISIONAL'S RESPONSE TO THE "WHITBREAD" SPEECH
We have obtained a full text of Gerry Adams' response to the Secretary of State's speech on 9 November. This is attached.
2, The tone and content are depressingly familiar offering little for our comfort. Some sections are directly lifted from Sinn Fein's standard references on this subject "Scenario for Peace" which was first issued in May 1987.
3. What is of interest is that Sinn Fein felt it necessary to respond quickly and at length to the Secretary of State's speech. To that extent we do have them dancing to our tune. However there is no sign of a serious intention to abjure violence before entering on political debate, unless we foreclose the option of the inhabitants of Northern Ireland being allowed a separate vote on their future.
