Ladies and gentlemen,
you've been invited here
1:34:18
for the announcement of the inquiry
into the death of George Hammond.
1:34:24
A complete transcript of the investigation
is in preparation.
1:34:29
This committee has spent
six months of investigation,
1:34:33
followed by 11 weeks of hearings.
1:34:38
After careful deliberation,
1:34:41
it has concluded that George Hammond
was assassinated by Joseph Frady.
1:34:47
An overwhelming body of evidence
1:34:49
has revealed that Frady was obsessed
with the Carroll assassination.
1:34:54
And in his confused and distorted mind
1:34:57
seems to have imagined that Hammond
was responsible for the senator's death.
1:35:03
He was equally convinced
that Hammond was plotting to kill him.
1:35:08
It is for those reasons
that Frady assassinated him.
1:35:14
Although I'm certain that it will do nothing
to discourage the conspiracy pedlars,
1:35:19
there is no evidence of a conspiracy
1:35:23
in the assassination
of George Hammond.
1:35:27
Those are our findings.
1:35:29
The evidence will be available
to you as soon as possible. Thank you.
1:35:35
This is an announcement, gentlemen.
1:35:37
There will be no questions.
