In 1952, Congress set up a “Select Committee to Investigate Tax Exempt Foundations.” Chief investigator and director was Mr. Norman Dodd of the U.S. House of Representatives.
In pursuing his investigation, Mr. Dodd was invited to privately meet with Mr. Rowan Gaither, president of the Ford Foundation, a premier leftist organization active in funding Communist-oriented causes and strongly supported by liberals in Congress and the media.
During this visit, Ford’s Mr. Gaither voluntarily made a stunning admission. He stated, “Mr. Dodd, we operate here at the Ford Foundation under directives which emanate from the White House…We operate and control our grant-making policies…as follows: We shall use our grant-making power so as to alter life in the United States that it can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union.” ...."
