Re: US Envoy Mitchell Reiss A "Mediator" To Multi-Party Talks
Political Action REQUEST: Contact Mitchell Reiss
I. Background
US president George Bush's special envoy to the Irish peace
process, Mitchell Reiss, will join a new round of multi-party talks
next week as a "mediator" -- clearly an upgrade. This will likely
happen on Wednesday at Hillsborough Castle, near Belfast.
Reiss recently commented after the deal that was put forward by the
two governments broke down when Paisley's DUP insisted that
independently verified putting IRA arms beyond use be further
verified by photographs:
"I of course support the deal that the two (UK and Irish)
governments put forward. It's unfortunate we could not get complete
agreement. It's easy to focus on the negative and on the
shortcomings"
He added: "It's understandable but let's focus on the big picture
there's been enormous movement, enormous progress forward in the
past few months. And if you compare it to where we were last year,
it's really quite remarkable we've come this close in just a year's
time."
II. Talking points
When you contact Reiss, tell him:
1] How much we appreciate his interest and support his efforts!
2] To stick literally to the GFA at all costs.
3] To realize that Republicans are doing all the forward movement,
making all the difficult/painful decisions, and all the
compromising. LET'S SEE SOME MOVEMENT FROM UNIONISTS FOR A CHANGE
TO MAKE A FAIR DEAL.
