Wright Commission in 1957
I am working on a research project and am desperately trying to find the published report of the Wright Commission in 1957, also known as the Commission on Government Security. Their final report was published and transmitted to Congress in 1957, is there any way to get a copy either electronic or hard copy? Thank you.
Answer
Thank you for your question.
I have downloaded a copy of this report from our ProQuest Congressional database and saved it to our cloud storage (it is almost 850 pages). You should be able to access it from this link: https://myunt-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/bobby_griffith_unt_edu/EWVKrBnyIIpMi1JtHpKIHAIBqWypc8MCD0QIgwiN5z8_qw?email=baronkm%40apsu.edu&e=V3eSlW
Let me know if the link doesn't work, and I will try sending it again.
You can also access this report for free on the Internet Archive at https://archive.org/details/reportofcommissi1957unit/page/n3/mode/2up
This document can be viewed in any of several formats by scrolling down below the display screen and selecting one of the download options. The PDF option can be downloaded to your computer if you want to save a copy.
