During his House tenure, the moderate Keating took a more restrained approach regarding [[Cold War]] [[anti-Communism]] and the fight against [[organized crime]]. He was one of forty-nine [[establishment]]-leaning House Republicans who voted against the resolution which re-enacted the Select Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations and Comparable Organizations during the 83rd Congress.<ref>[https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/83-1953/h61 H RES 217.

Carroll Reece]], and thus known as the '''[[Reece Committee]]'''. Its final report concluded that major foundations subverted American society towards left-wing ideologies.

Like most Republicans, he was a firm advocate of [[Segregation|desegregation]] and helped to end the Southern-led [[filibuster]] of the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]], which President Johnson signed into law; Senator Goldwater had voted against the legislation, an action which isolated him from the Moderate Republicans, particularly in the Northeast.<ref name=bio/>

After his Senate defeat in 1964, Keating resumed his law practice and was elected in 1965 to the New York Court of Appeals, when [[John V. Lindsay]], another prominent Moderate Republican who later defected to the Democrats, was elected to the first of two terms as [[mayor]] of New York City. He served on the bench until 1969, when he resigned to become U.S. Ambassador to India.<ref name=nycourts>{{cite web|url=http://www.nycourts.gov/history/legal-history-new-york/history-legal-bench-court-appeals.html?http://www.nycourts.gov/history/legal-history-new-york/luminaries-court-appeals/keating-kenneth.html |title=Biography of Kenneth Barnard Keating|author=Edward R.

In 1960, Keating introduced the [[Twenty-Third Amendment]] to the [[United States Constitution]], which allows residents of the [[District of Columbia]] to vote in presidential elections. In every election since that time, the district has voted heavily Democrat. In 1962, prior to the [[Cuban Missile Crisis]], Keating said that the former [[Soviet Union]] and Communist [[Cuba]] had constructed [[intercontinental ballistic missile]] facilities in Cuba that could target the United States. He called upon President Kennedy to address the matter.<ref name=awhitman/><ref name=nycourts/>  

Keating resigned as ambassador in 1972 to work in the campaign to re-elect of his former House colleague and benefactor, President Richard Nixon. In 1973, Nixon appointed Keating as the Ambassador to [[Israel]], a post that the former senator held until his death in New York City shortly before his 75th birthday. By that time [[Gerald Ford]] of [[Michigan]], another Moderate Republican, had succeeded Nixon as President.<ref name=awhitman>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1975/05/06/archives/keating-dies-at-74-envoy-exsenator-kenneth-b-keating-envoy-to.html|author=Alden Whitman|date=May 6, 1975|title=Keating Dies at 74; Envoy, Ex‐Senator|publisher=''[[The New York Times]]''|page=1}}</ref>  

During the 1964 Republican National Convention, Keating staged a walkout of the majority of the New York delegation after Goldwater won the presidential nomination.
