John Major's principal concern is to maintain the united front with the Irish government decided upon at Brussels in October. He explains the difficulties that Hume/Adams poses to the JDI and reminds Reynolds that the Brussels agreement was to end violence and find a new basis for talks (with one not being conditional on the other). He also reminds Reynolds of his principal concern: not taking a line which potentially increases violence (i.e. one that is unnacceptable to the majority unionist community). He notes that the Irish side are holding up the parallel talks process, contravening the spirit of the Brussels agreement (as Major understands it).
