It pans down to Jim Whipkey as he delivers his report, which is transcribed in full below."Seven months of intensive investigation by the Attorney General's Office will be condensed in a report sometime next week. Since last May 9th, the staff of Arthur Bolton has been investigating the Pardon and Parole department. It started when the Governor asked the Attorney General to look into the affairs of the Pardon and Parole Board and report on its conduct. Since the investigation started, all three members of the Board have given extensive testimony, and Bolton has tried unsuccessfully to subpoena the financial records of Board member J. W. Claxton. The investigation has involved literally hundreds of people, employees of the office, and former convicts and their families. Attorney General Bolton says his report will contain recommendations for changes in the Pardon and Parole department. Bolton will not talk publicly about the changes, but there is likely to be a surprise or two in store. In the midst of the investigation there have been charges of influence peddling, payoffs, and all sorts of wrongdoing. Nothing has been proven and it seems unlikely that the Attorney General's report is going to offer any proof. It does seem pretty certain, however, that the long awaited report will have some suggestions to prevent the ugly rumors from cropping up again.
