Eight of ten Pearl Harbor committee members signed a report absolving President Roosevelt and Cordell Hull of direct responsibility for the 1941 attack. Republicans Brewster and Ferguson did not sign. Keefe and Gearhart reportedly supported the majority. The 112000 word report blames Washington officials and Pearl Harbor commanders Short and Kimmel, with 25 recommendations for army and navy procedures. Ferguson's minority report argues a prewar Pacific defense plan existed among Allies. The majority found no specific warning failures by Roosevelt or Hull to the Pearl Harbor leaders.
