It is shown that the separation of variables solution of the kinetic theory relaxation problem yields a complete set of eigenfunctions provided generalized functions are admitted as solutions. The presence of a continuum of eigenfunctions is explicitly exhibited and it is shown how the theory of singular integral equations can be utilized to give a solution of the initial value problem.
