CHAIRPERSON
In welcoming you to the Commission, one of the worst things about suffering is not to know what happened, is to wonder where our loved ones are, where they are resting, what happened to them,  why they disappeared, who took them away, how did they die.  And you now have an opportunity to tell this Commission exactly, in your own words, what happened.  And we invite you now to continue this time of witness-giving, and John Smith will lead the evidence.  Thank you very much indeed for coming.
