This is one of those who funded the "research" provided by the 
Employment Policy Foundation.


John M. Olin Foundation, Inc. 
The New York-based John M. Olin Foundation, which grew out of a family 
manufacturing business (chemical and munitions), funds right-wing think 
tanks like the American Enterprise Institute, the Heritage Foundation, 
the Manhattan Institute for Public Policy Research, and the Hoover 
Institute of War, Revolution and Peace. It also gives large sums of 
money to promote conservative programs in the country's most prestigious 
colleges and universities. After Michael Joyce left to take charge of 
the Bradley Foundation, William Simon  continued as president at Olin...
(Editor's note: William Simon passed away in 2000).

...Financed by the Olin chemical and munitions fortune. Assets estimated 
at about $90 million. Gives about $3 million a year to conservative 
advocacy groups. Supported right-wing causes for many years, but became 
more focused in its grantmaking after William Simon took over as 
president in 1977. Simon was followed by Michael Joyce, who left Olin in 
1985 to lead the Bradley Foundation. Simon is now Olin's president 
again.
