The Pike Committee was a House committee that investigated illegal activities by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the National Security Agency (NSA). The Pike Committee conducted much of its investigation while its Senate counterpart, the Church Committee, conducted its own investigation into the actions of the same groups.

Unlike the concluding report of the Church Committee, which was eventually released to the public in the face of Executive Branch opposition to its release, the Pike Committee report was intended to be kept secret from the American public. On this day in 1976, the newspaper Village Voice published excerpts of the Pike Committee Report under the headline "The CIA Report the President Doesn't Want You to Read".
