A PLAN to honour President Bill Clinton during a special event in Enniskillen ahead of the G8 summit in 2013 has been revealed in information released by the U.S State Department. 
The message within 7,800 pages of e-mails from Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server contained a proposal by The Ireland Funds to pay tribute to her husband in Fermanagh. A copy of a letter sent to Prime Minister David Cameron weeks after The Impartial Reporter revealed that the G8 summit was to be held in Fermanagh was e-mailed to the former U.S secretary of state on January 15, 2013. 
In it, Loretta Brennan Glucksman, chairwoman of The Ireland Funds, began by praising Mr. Cameron for his decision to host the G8 Summit in Enniskillen, saying the decision “demonstrates your great commitment to achieving peace and reconciliation across the island of Ireland.”
“Recent events show how important that commitment is, along with the continuing involvement of all of us who share your objective of completing the peace process. It is particularly appropriate that you are bringing the G8 Summit to Enniskillen. It recognises this lovely town that suffered so grievously. Hosting the Summit in Enniskillen presents an opportunity to highlight the success of the peace process while providing it with a much needed morale boost,” she said.
Ms. Brennan Glucksman suggested that a way to highlight the peace process “could be achieved by recognising a key architect of the peace process and a steadfast friend of Great Britain and Ireland, President Bill Clinton.”
She explained that Enniskillen is the location of the Clinton Centre “which celebrates the crucial role the President played in the peace process” and added: “He has visited the Centre on several occasions.”
“Recently, The American Ireland Fund initiated a program at the Centre where students from areas in conflict such as Kosovo, Bosnia, Egypt, Haiti, Israel and Palestine come together to envision a future based on the Clinton legacy of peace and prosperity. The success of the programme has led to its expansion and it is being hailed as an exemplar for societies in conflict. 
“Thus, to celebrate the new Northern Ireland and to encourage continued support of the journey towards a fully normalised society, we would deeply appreciate if, in conjunction with the Summit — ideally on its eve, Sunday, June 16, you would honour President Clinton by unveiling a tribute to the new Northern Ireland in his presence,” wrote Ms. Brennan Glucksman.
The event, an exhibition organised by the then editor of The Impartial Reporter, Denzil McDaniel, documented the efforts by the Clinton administration in achieving peace in Northern Ireland. While The Ireland Funds wanted Mr. Clinton to be honoured at the event, the proposal did not materialise and instead the former U.S President sent a video message which was played at the opening of the exhibition, launched by his former foreign policy adviser, Nancy Soderberg.
