The only published edition of this important report printed in normal-size pages rather than letter-size memo format, to be readable as a manageable paperback; yet it retains the original pagination. This is the top-line findings and principal supporting evidence found in the House Select Committee's official "Introductory Material" report. It was issued on December 19, 2022, in anticipation of the Final Report's release December 22. The committee's summary recounts details of the shocking and deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol building and its occupants on January 6, 2021. The author (set out more fully) is the "House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol," of the United States House of Representatives. The Select Committee released this introductory report on December 19. It is entitled in the media (and by the committee itself in its URL of the released PDF) as an "Executive Summary" of the final report, though it is far more complete and supported in citations than are most such summaries (at 154 pages even with large pages). This report is presented here in book form, using a smaller but normal page-size, to ease its use in reading and shelving compared to the letter-paged original. The pagination is maintained and the font is legible. Other than resizing and binding as a book, and the addition of the new foreword, this is an exact printing of the released introductory report -- meant to add value by publishing it in a manageable paperback format, rather than an ungainly memo. The "House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol" was formed July 1, 2021. It reviewed over a million documents and interviewed over a thousand witnesses. Its multiple hearings produced witnesses and videos revealing behind-the-scenes evidence not publicly known as the world watched in horror the day of the attack. The Quid Pro edition adds a contemporaneous Foreword by Steven Alan Childress, a senior law professor at Tulane University Law School and coauthor of the three-volume legal treatise Federal Standards of Review. In it, he analyzes the historic import of the report and its criminal referrals, the issue of "bipartisanship," and the evidence-law concept of "hearsay" used incorrectly by many previous critics of the committee's work.
