Part of a briefing from Robert Crawford, Private Secretary to the Northern Ireland Office, to John Holmes, Private Secretary to the Prime Minister, written on 30 July 1996, in preparation for a telephone call between John Major, British Prime Minister, and John Bruton, Taoiseach, scheduled for 31 July 1996. The briefing covers the progress made in the opening plenary multi-party talks. Crawford outlined the agreement on the rules for the rest of the opening plenary; the lack of agreement on an outline agenda; concerns from the Irish Government and SDLP [Social Democratic Labour Party] that Unionist parties have 'seized control' of the process; and other past and current key issues in the process, particularly disagreement over decommissioning.
