This committee has spent nearly six months of investigation, followed by eleven weeks of hearings. A complete transcript of the investigation is in preparation. Ladies and gentlemen, you've been invited here today for the official announcement of the inquiry into the death of George Hammond.When you've had a chance to examine the evidence, you'll have every opportunity to ask those questions which remain unanswered, if they are any. It's our hope that this will put an end to the kind of irresponsible and exploitive speculation conducted by the press in recent months, as I've said in the complete text of the hearings, which provides the bases for the committee's findings which will be published on March 1. The committee wishes to emphasize that there is no evidence of any wider conspiracy no evidence whatsoever. It is our further conclusion that he acted entirely alone, motivated by a sense of patriotism and a psychotic desire for public recognition. After nearly four months of investigation, followed by nine weeks of hearings, it is the conclusion of this committee that Senator Carroll was assassinated by Thomas Richard Linden. At that time, the committee will hold a full-scale press conference. A complete transcript of the investigation is being prepared for publication on March 1. This is an announcement, not a press conference. Ladies and gentlemen, you have been invited here today for the official announcement of the inquiry into the death of Senator Charles Carroll.We're in the business of reporting the news, not creating it.The other was that you curb your talent for creative irresponsibility: you can start working on that right now. When I agreed to take you back in January I made two suggestions.Do something worthwhile for chrissakes, you two bit vice squad, you're not only dumb, you're dirty. Look, why don't you go out and bust up a keno game.
