the cultural things done culturally, which is done by KCFF.  That is why we
organized the KCFF.  In my testimony, I said the KCFF is my idea, so the church
did not then tackle the Little Angels program." (287)

Robert Roland testified that Pak hoped the Little Angels would "create
influence for their movement, and also for the Korean Government." (288)  A
passage from the June 15, 1965, issue of the UC's New Age Frontiers described
the Little Angels as "a group of Divine Principles children who perform traditional
Korean dances." (289)  In later years, the Little Angels were officially sponsored
by the Korean Government on world tours; also in later years, Moon's connection
with the Little Angels and his increasing use of them to further his own purposes
became more apparent. (290)
By December 1964, U.S. intelligence agencies had reported on Pak's plans to
link the KCFF to the UC. (291)
The subsequent history of KCFF is closely related to some of the most
controversial issues in Korean-American relations; these issues are discussed in
detail in other parts of this report. (292)
Although KCFF was often involved in
foreign policy controversies beginning in the mid-1960's, causing it to receive
attention from a number of U.S. agencies, its ties to the Moon organization were
not widely recognized prior to 1976. Until then, the KCFF had numerous
supporters, advisers, directors, and contributors who were totally unaware of the
connection.
In 1976, there was a split among officers and directors of KCFF over Pak's
management of the foundation; there were public allegations by KCFF members
that Pak was using KCFF as an arm of the UC. As a result of this feud, the Moon
Organization's control over KCFF, which had been developing since the earliest
beginnings of the foundation, became complete. (293)
Business enterprises
The Moon Organization controls numerous large and small businesses
throughout the world and is constantly expanding into new business fields. These
organizations are set up under a variety of names and often employ holding
companies and other complex corporate structures so that their relationship to
the overall Moon movement is not always apparent to a casual observer.
However, the subcommittee found extensive evidence that many business
enterprises--regardless of name or legal structure-are an integral part of the
Moon Organization and are used interchangeably with its nonbusiness
components.
Even the crudest analysis of the structure of Moon's businesses shows that,
as with his nonbusiness organizations, there is a pattern of interlocking directors,
officers, and stockholders. The inter-relationship of the businesses with the UC
and other components of the Moon Organization is also made explicit in internal
UC publications. There are frequent references to the "family" businesses. An
illustrative example is found in a speech Moon gave to his followers:
