the committee concluded in its final report that "the findings of the [phillips] task force had no effect on the accident, did not lead to the accident, and were not related to the accident," but in its recommendations, stated "the committee believes it should have been informed of the situation." freshman senators edward brooke and charles h. percy jointly wrote an "additional views" section appended to the committee report, expressing a bit more strongly that the phillips review should have been disclosed to congress. mondale wrote his own additional view, voicing his complaints in the most strongly worded terms.
