Stimson's report to Congress, based on Clausen's work, was limited due to secrecy concerns, largely about cryptography. Clausen claimed, in spite of Secretary Stimson having given him a letter informing witnesses he had the necessary clearances to require their cooperation, he was repeatedly lied to until he produced copies of top secret decrypts, thus proving he indeed had the proper clearance. Russell had been appointed guardian of the pre-war decrypts, and he alone held the combination to the storage safe.
Investigators prior to Clausen did not have the security clearance necessary to receive the most sensitive information, as Brigadier General Henry D. The inquiries reported incompetence, underestimation, and misapprehension of Japanese capabilities and intentions problems resulting from excessive secrecy about cryptography division of responsibility between Army and Navy (and lack of consultation between them) and lack of adequate manpower for intelligence (analysis, collection, processing).

However, the Pearl Harbor advance-knowledge conspiracy is rejected by many historians as a fringe theory. Navy Rear Admiral Robert Alfred Theobald, and Harry Elmer Barnes have argued that various parties high in the government of the United States and the United Kingdom knew of the attack in advance and may even have let it happen or encouraged it in order to ensure America’s entry into the European theatre of World War II via a Japanese–American war started at "the back door". Several writers, including journalist Robert Stinnett, retired U.S. and thus provide a reason to enter the war since January 1941. Flynn, a co-founder of the non-interventionist America First Committee, launched a Pearl Harbor counter-narrative when he published a 46-page booklet entitled The Truth about Pearl Harbor, arguing that Roosevelt and his inner circle had been plotting to provoke the Japanese into an attack on the U.S. Ever since the Japanese attack, there has been debate as to why and how the United States was caught off guard, and how much and when American officials knew of Japanese plans for an attack. government officials had advance knowledge of Japan's December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor.
