Quentin Thomas informs the foreign office of the content of a recent meeting with Seán Ó hUiginn. The latter emphasised that the recent talks between John Hume and Gerry Adams were separate to the Joint Declaration Initiative (JDI) and that a draft had not been shared with the Provisionals. British concerns about the JDI include: uncertainty about impact on republican and loyalist violence, trepidation about impact on talks with constitutional parties in Northern Ireland (particularly predicted unionist sense of betrayal), effect on British and international opinion. There was also the question of the most approrpriate role for the British government.
