1. We wish to inform you that we have witnessed an event in which the IRA leadership has put a varied and substantial quantity of ammunition, arms and explosive material beyond use. In accordance with the Governments' Scheme and Regulations, we have made an inventory of the arms concerned, which we will provide to the two governments when our task is completed.

2. As before, we have agreed to the IRA's condition of confidentiality regarding details of this event, as provided for in the same Scheme and Regulations.
