CU Allana continues speaking 2.08 TRANSCRIPT: SEQ 4: ALLANA: "We will be visiting that country in the beginning of July, 1975, with the willing consent of the Government of Chief, who have promised the working group all assistance necessary to assure the members of the group are able to interview, in Chile, whoever they wish, and to visit any place that they may choose to do. I wish to make it emphatically clear that we will be visiting Chile with an open mind, without any preconceived ideas or prejudices. Objectivity and strict impartiality shall be the binding principles of the members of the group in arriving at their final conclusions. I am confident that we will fulfil the pledge that I have made to the Commission on behalf of the group that out reports will record and reflect the truth as we will assess it, and nothing but the truth." ALLANA: "I think there is an essential difference between the members of the group and the reading public. The reading public have the option to believe or not to believe. We as the members of the group have to have complete objectivity to be accepted. We shall certainly need it, as we are gathering testimony. We shall certainly gather testimony, but that does not mean that because the testimony comes to us we must believe it. We must have an open mind. To do this report, we have to make inquiries, assess each information that we get at its proper value, and then come to the conclusions."
