various investigations followed the attack on pearl harbor on december 7, 1941, including one ordered by president franklin d. roosevelt under the direction of supreme court justice owen roberts, and another conducted by the army and navy released by president harry truman in august 1945. congress, however, postponed investigation during while the world war ii was ongoing. on september 6, 1945, four days after the formal surrender of japan, senate majority leader alben barkley presented a senate resolution urging the creation of a joint investigatory committee to explore "contradictions and inconsistencies" in the preceding reports. the senate unanimously approved barkley's concurrent resolution 27 the same day, and the house concurred on september 11, creating the joint committee on the investigation of the pearl harbor attack, commonly known as the pearl harbor committee. the resolution authorized a 10-member committee, evenly divided between members of the house of representatives and the senate, and chaired by senator barkley, to investigate "facts relating to the events and circumstances leading up to or following the attack made by japanese armed forces upon pearl harbor". the committee selected william d. mitchell, former attorney general under republican president herbert hoover, as its first counsel.
