Let \(M\) be a compact oriented 3-manifold whose boundary contains a single torus \(P\) and let \(\mathcal F\) be a taut foliation on \(M\) whose restriction to \(\partial M\) has a Reeb component. The main technical result of the paper, Operation 2.4.4 asserts that if \(N\) is obtained by Dehn filling \(P\) along any curve not parallel to the Reeb component, then \(N\) has a taut foliation. Here are two applications. i) If \(\mathcal F\) is a taut foliation on \(M\) then either \(\partial{\mathcal F}\) is a suspension of \(S^ 1\) or every manifold \(M(\alpha)\) obtained by nontrivial (i.e. not the Reeb direction) surgery has a taut foliation, thus \(M(\alpha)\) is irreducible with infinite \(\pi_ 1\). ii) If \(\mathcal F\) is a taut foliation on \(M=S^ 3-\mathring N(k)\), for \(k\) a knot in \(S^ 3\), then \(\partial {\mathcal F}\) is either a suspension of \(S^ 1\) or has meridional Reeb components.
