  Let G be a finitely generated group having the property that any action of
any finite-index subgroup of G by homeomorphisms of the circle must have a
finite orbit. (By a theorem of E.Ghys, lattices in simple Lie groups of real
rank at least two have this property.) Suppose that such a G acts on a compact
manifold M by automorphisms of a codimension-one C2 foliation, F. We show that
if F has a compact leaf, then some finite-index subgroup of G fixes a compact
leaf of F. Furthermore, we give sufficient conditions for some finite-index
subgroup of G to fix each leaf of F.
