Exhibit 875 ยท Congressional report
Final Report of the Select Committee to Investigate Foundations and Other Organizations, H. Rept. 2514, 82d Cong., 2d sess.
Our investigation, hurried by lack of time, indicates that very few actual Communists or Communist sympathizers obtained positions of influence in the foundations.
Report of the committee created by H. Res. 561 (4 April 1952), chaired by E. E. Cox of Georgia until his death on 24 December 1952, completed under Acting Chairman Brooks Hays. Signed by all six members, including B. Carroll Reece, who appended a note asking that the inquiry be continued by the next Congress. Finds little basis for the belief that foundation funds are diverted, finds very few Communists in positions of influence, finds some foundation grants to Communists and sympathizers, and recommends a Public Accountability Act requiring public reporting by exempt organizations.
