The following report on the recent efforts for unity between the two families

The first part is a synopsis of the Reports, Agreed Statements and

It will provide the reader with a basic understanding of the conclusions of
each of the conversations.
The second part is a full print of the official Communiques produced at each
meeting, including a list of participants.
The report covers the four unofficial conversations (1964, 1967, 1970, 1971),

1990), and two meetings of sub-committees (1987, 1990). The sources for these
communiques are listed in the table of contents.
