==Investigation by Reece Committee==
==Investigation by [[Reece Committee]]==
During the 82nd Congress, the Select Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations and Comparable Organizations, known as the Cox Committee under the leadership of [[Georgia]] Democrat Edward E. Cox, failed to sufficiently conduct its job of thoroughly examining tax-exempt foundations. Among the complaints made by committee member [[B. Carroll Reece]] was that it did not investigate the Ford Foundation.

Carroll Reece]] was that it did not investigate the Ford Foundation.
Cox died in office, and Reece was the only remaining committee member who sought a re-enactment to fully accomplish the task. The 83rd Congress re-enacted the select committee at his urging, and he became the chair; it was thus known as the '''[[Reece Committee]]'''.

The Reece Committee investigated the Ford Foundation's donations towards [[Alfred Kinsey]], a [[sexual revolution]]ary and pervert who collaborated with Nazis and pedophiles for his "research." The committee's chief investigator, Norman Dodd, met with foundation head Rowan Gaither, who admitted that the organization sought to merge American society with that of the [[Soviet Union]].
Gaither also admitted that the foundation "would not think of" admitting such [[subversive]] efforts to the American people.
