Members of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, appointed by President Johnson, included Senator Edward W. Brooke, Roy Wilkins of the NAACP, Governor Otto Kerner of Illinois, Senator Fred R. Harris and Mayor John Lindsay of New York City. The National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, known as the Kerner Commission after its chair, Governor Otto Kerner Jr. of Illinois, was an 11-member Presidential Commission established by President Lyndon B. Johnson in Executive Order 11365 to investigate the causes of the long, hot summer of 1967 in the United States and to provide recommendations for the future. The report was released in 1968, after seven months of investigation. For causing the riots, it blamed lack of economic opportunity, failed social service programs, police brutality, racism, and the white-oriented media. The 426-page report was published by the Government Printing Office and by other firms since it was 'in the public domain'. The official Government Printing Office edition is by far the scarcest, and due to its large format, widely sought after. In his remarks upon signing the order establishing the commission, Johnson asked for answers to three basic questions about the riots: "What happened? Why did it happen? What can be done to prevent it from happening again and again?" More
