Abstract
We prove a conjecture ofR. Streater [1] on the finite covariance of functions holomorphic in the extended tube which are Laplace transforms of two tempered distributions with supports in the future and past cones. A new, slightly more general proof is given for a theorem of analytic completion of [1].
