I decided to talk to the journalist about the company’s decision, on condition that what I said was __________ the record.

The meeting to decide on the new contract is on next week. I know how I’m going to vote, but the IT manager says he hasn’t decided yet, and still needs to be convinced. Just what we need at this stage – a __________ voter!
