18 November 2008 Statement by President Bush’s Special Envoy on Northern Ireland
President Bush's Special Envoy on Northern Ireland Ambassador Paula J. Dobriansky said:
"The United States welcomes today's statements by the First and deputy First Ministers in relation to the devolution of Policing and Justice functions. These steps concern some of the most complex and emotive issues of the peace process, and we commend Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness for their political leadership".
"We also expect that this framework will enable the restoration of scheduled meetings of the Northern Ireland Executive. We welcome the fact that political leaders in Northern Ireland can once again work in partnership for the collective good of wider society".
