In this paper and its continuation [3] we investigate the following question: Let M be a compact oriented irreducible 3-manifold whose boundary is a torus. If TV is obtained by filling dM along an essential curve α (i.e., N is obtained by attaching a 2-handle to dM along a and then capping off the resulting S with a 3-cell), then does N possess a taut foliation? In this paper we consider the case when H2(M) Φ 0 and in [3] we study the case when N is obtained by zero frame surgery on a knot k in S. Using the existence of foliations on the filled manifolds we obtain a number of topological corollaries. We now state (for reasons of clarity) a slightly less general version of the main result (Theorems 1.7,1.8) of this paper. Theorem. Let M be an atoroidal Haken 3-manifold whose boundary is a torus and H2(M) Φ 0. Let S be any Thurston norm minimizing surface representing a class of H2(M). Then with at most l-exception (up to isotopy) the manifold N obtained by filling M along an essential simple closed curve in dM possesses a taut finite depth foliation !F such that S is a leaf of & and the core of the filling is transverse to !F. Combining our main result with the work of Alexander, Reeb, Novikov, and Thurston (see [2, 2.5 and 2.8]) and some 3-dimensional topology we obtain the following results. Corollary 2.14. Let M be a connected sum of M1 ? , Mr where each Mi is either an oriented torus or sphere bundle over S. If k is a knot in M which does not lie in a 3-cell, then k is determined by its complement.
