The Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry (AAC) comprised six Americans and six British. Judge Joseph Hutcheson was the American chairman.

The British part was chaired by Sir John Singleton, with the remaining members being Lord Morrison, Sir Frederick Leggett, Wilfrid Crick, Reginald Manningham-Buller, and Richard Crossman. The committee was established in 1946 to “hear the views of competent witnesses and to consult representative Arabs and Jews on the problems of Palestine", as stated in the Report of the Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry Regarding the Problems of European Jewry and Palestine. The committee toured widely to weigh the views of many different parties. The itinerary included: hearing official government policies in Washington, D.C., and London; Vienna, where they visited a Displaced Persons camp and interviewed Holocaust survivors; Cairo, where they heard Arab sentiments and interviewed the Grand Mufti and three weeks in Palestine, with visits to Jewish and Arab areas, and testimonial hearings with Jewish, Arab, and British officials; finally retiring to Lausanne to debate and draft their findings.
