The Presidential Commission on Violence warned mass civil disobedience could spark anarchy in the United States. A six member minority, including Judge A Leon Higginbotham, opposed this, arguing peaceful tests are essential.

The report, ninth of ten, was announced by Leon Jaworski with other members present.
