urging, him to remain with the KCFF; the letter clearly revealed Hurt's conception
of KCFF as a subservient arm of the Moon Organization. (487)
November 18, 1976.
Dear Colonel Pak: All of the Directors feel that KCFF has drawn within arm's
length of HSA-UWC, because The Leader is the spiritual and financial strength,
and you and Judy are the other essential supports.
While not a prophet or a psychic, I expect fiduciary responsibilities relating to
accounting and efficiency of operations and results to be adequately discharged
within a year or two, and then, KCFF to become as strong a Cultural and Relief
arm of HSA-UWC as FLF will be the Educational Arm. Imagine, Church
Members performing every function all around the World! All things will have
worked for GOOD!
A few months ago, Bob Standard was given the task of setting up a World
Relief, nonprofit corporation for the Church. With the new, very close, relationship
of KCFF, you may want to talk with him. In my opinion, he would be a very fine
Board Member, or, perhaps, Officer.
Respectfully yours,
Henry H. Hurt.
With its clear numerical superiority, the Moon faction easily defeated
Fairchild's objections, and by early 1977 all five remaining non-Moon officers and
directors had either resigned or been forced out. KCFF had been created to
serve Reverend Moon, and now Moon's followers had eliminated from KCFF the
last vestiges of objection to that subservience.
By this time, however, KCFF's projects had effectively come to a halt. ROFA
was formally discontinued in 1975. Children's Relief Fund was the target of a
New York State audit, which found that 2.1 percent of the $1.2 million raised in
1975 was actually spent for the designated purposes, (488)
a violation of New
York's standards governing fundraising by charitable institutions. As a result of
this audit, KCFF lost its tax-exempt status in New York and was barred from
soliciting funds there. The Little Angels, as noted, could not travel outside Korea
after 1976.
Despite the curtailment of these activities, Pak maintained his office at KCFF
headquarters in Washington and continued in 1978 to administer what was left of
KCFF's funds. (489)
KCFF ties with ROK Government officials
Beginning with Kim Jong Pil, Korean agencies and officials used, or
attempted to use, the KCFF and its projects in various ways. Kim Jong Pil's
request that the KCFF adopt the APACL-Freedom Center as a project was
already noted earlier, as was the KCIA's
