A group tasked with creating an official narrative to explain away evidence of the October Surprise conspiracy.

This was a task force instituted by the United States House of Representatives in March 1992 to examine the October Surprise allegations: that during the 1980 United States presidential election the campaign of Ronald Reagan had sought to negotiate a solution to the Iran hostage crisis in competition to the US government of Jimmy Carter, in order to prevent the successful resolution of the crisis giving Jimmy Carter an electoral boost.
