I don't know where to find the original report, but the history is interesting. The Meese Commission was stacked with religious conservatives (much like todays Department of Justice) and anti-porn feminists for the express purpose of contradicting the conclusions of the 1970 Presidential Commission on Pornography. The first commission concluded that porn does not contribute to sexual violence or criminal/deliquent behavior in any way. Obviously those conclusions just wouldn't do.

Despite the obviousness of the fix being in from the beginning, look at how many people were fooled and its effects on policy. Its was probably one of the most brazen but effective pieces of propaganda ever.

This is a good article on it:

Almost funny, pro fredom of speech or pro porno work usually has a scientifically sturcture (references) while most anti porn pages reminds on typical hate / nazi site. (at least here in germany. you just have to substitute a few keywords to change a pornhater page into a nazi page)
