-STATUTE-

It is declared to be the policy of the United States to adjust

and settle its international disputes through mediation or

arbitration, to the end that war may be honorably avoided. It looks

with apprehension and disfavor upon a general increase of armament

throughout the world, but it realizes that no single nation can

disarm, and that without a common agreement upon the subject every

considerable power must maintain a relative standing in military

strength.

-HEAD-

Sec. 262c. Commitments for United States contributions to

international financial institutions fostering economic

development in less developed countries; continuation of

participation

-STATUTE-

(a) Congressional findings

It is the sense of the Congress that -

(1) for humanitarian, economic, and political reasons, it is in

the national interest of the United States to assist in fostering

economic development in the less developed countries of this

world;

(2) the development-oriented international financial

institutions have proved themselves capable of playing a

significant role in assisting economic development by providing

to less developed countries access to capital and technical

assistance and soliciting from them maximum self-help and mutual

cooperation;

(3) this has been achieved with minimal risk of financial loss

to contributing countries;

(4) such institutions have proved to be an effective mechanism

for sharing the burden among developed countries of stimulating

economic development in the less developed world; and

(5) although continued United States participation in the

international financial institutions is an important part of

efforts by the United States to assist less developed countries,

more of this burden should be shared by other developed

countries. As a step in that direction, in future negotiations,

the United States should work toward aggregate contributions to

future replenishments to international financial institutions

covered by this Act not to exceed 25 per centum.

(b) Funding commitments to international financial institutions;

availability of funds subject to appropriations

The Congress recognizes that economic development is a long-term

process needing funding commitments to international financial

institutions. It also notes that the availability of funds for the

United States contribution to international financial institutions

is subject to the appropriations process.

It is the sense of the Congress that, where other means have

representatives to the International Bank for Reconstruction and

Development, the International Development Association, the African

Development Fund, the Asian Development Bank, and the

financial or technical assistance to any country that persists in a

systematic pattern of gross violations of fundamental human rights.

(a) Consultation with representatives of member countries

The Secretary of the Treasury shall consult with representatives

of other member countries of the International Bank for

Reconstruction and Development, the International Development

Association, the Asian Development Bank, the African Development

Fund, and the African Development Bank (if the United States

becomes a member of that Bank), for the purpose of establishing

guidelines within each of those institutions which specify that, in

a manner consistent with the purposes and charters of those

institutions, a specified proportion of the annual lending by each

institution shall be designed to benefit needy people, primarily by

financing sound, efficient, productive, self-sustaining projects

designed to benefit needy people in developing countries, thus

helping poor people improve their conditions of life.

(b) Congressional findings regarding implementation of objectives

The Congress finds that projects to construct basic

infrastructure, to expand productive capacity (including private

enterprise), and to address social problems can all meet the

objectives of this section if they are designed and implemented

those people living in "absolute" or "relative" poverty as

for Reconstruction and Development and the International
