Mr. Maclean

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if she will list the names of those American politicians with whom she had discussions about the future of Northern Ireland on her recent visit to the United States. [2132]

Dr. Mowlam

During my visit to Washington, I had the opportunity to discuss a number of issues relating to Northern Ireland with various members of the House International Relations Committee, including Congressmen Benjamin Gilman (Chairman), Peter King, Richard Neal and Tom Manton; and with Senators Edward Kennedy, Christopher Dodd, Patrick Leahy and Joseph P. Kennedy II.

In addition I also had productive meetings with various representatives of the US Administration, including officials from the National Security Council, and the US Department of Commerce.
