PRIME MINISTER'S MEETING WITH THE TAOISEACH: THE PROVISIONALS
I have consulted Sir Robin Butler about whether the Prime Minister should be offered either background briefing or a steering brief on the Provisionals against the unlikely prospect that the Taoiseach might spring a surprise suggestion of a joint message or declaration aimed at securing a ceasefire or a cessation of violence.
(i) terrorism is crime; (ii) we do not negotiate with, or have (direct) contacts with, terrorists; (iii) the Provisionals know they must abandon violence if they are ever to be accepted into the constitutional democratic political process.

In this memo, John Chilcot discusses whether John Major should be briefed in preparation for a prospective proposal from Charles Haughey regarding a joint declaration. He concludes that such a briefing is unnecessary, and lists the principal elements of the British Government's position on negotiations with PIRA. The document is lightly annotated.
