BOB DOLE KANSAS United States Senate OFFICE OF THE MAJORITY LEADER WASHINGTON, DC 20510 March 26, 1985 TO: Senator Dole FROM: George Pieler SUBJECT: Tomorrow's meeting with Bill Clausen (World Bank) At your 9 a.m. Wednesday meeting with Bill Clausen and Bill Stanton, they will talk about the World Bank's development program for Sub-Saharan Africa. In addition to the Bank's regular lending activities, the World Bank has set up a Special Fund for Africa to provide development credit for a nominal fee (3/4 of a percentage point) and no interest. This is comparable to, but independent from, lending by the International Development Agency (which the U. S. supports at $750 million/year) . The U.S. is not a party to the Special Fund. On this year's legislative agenda, the only item the World Bank is likely to be interested in is authorization and appropriations for the U.S. to participate in a Selective Capital Increase for the Bank. The purpose of the SCI is to readjust shares of paid-in and callable capital and voting power in the Bank to reflect the current market strength of contributors to the Bank (e.g., Japan's contribution will increase). The U.S. share will be 18% of a total of $8.4 billion, or $1.5 billion -- of that only $131 million will be paid-in capital requiring an appropriation. Failure on the part of the U. S. to subscribe to this change would result in loss of voting power at the Bank. The World Bank has been criticized by some in Congress for building up capital to lend but being unable to find enough worthy projects in the developing world to lend the money for. In addition, some members of Congress are increasingly concerned that the Bank funds subsidizes industries in the Third World that then compete with (and take jobs away from) domestic industries. Steel is one example. Finally, all types of international lending activity have come under increasing criticism for being too eager to get money out and funding projects that do not (and are not likely to) lead to sustained development, but just create a permanent dependency on subsidies. The African famine situation is one dramatic case where governments have not followed policies that encourage self-sufficiency, and might be encouraged to do so through international lending policies.

Dole United States Senate 141 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 10510 Dear Bob: Your selection as Majority Leader of the U. S. Senate was very welcome news here at The World Bank, but not really a surprise! As you know, Bill Stanton, your old friend and former colleague, is now working with us at the Bank. Long ago he had convinced us that the majority of your fellow senators would be prejudiced in your favor. The Congress of the United States has a vital interest in, and a long and close association with, The World Bank. In fact, it was members of the Senate, in conjunction with the Eisenhower administration, who were instrumental in the establishment of the Inter- national Development Association (IDA) in 1960. During my tenure here at the Bank, this cooperation has continued. Earlier this year I enjoyed having lunch with Senator Mathias and members of his Sub-Committee at the Capitol, and last spring I was able to brief Senator Baker and his staff on our activities. In this regard, I have asked Bill Stanton to set up a courtesy call with you for sometime after the inauguration. While we have no new legislative requests for your consideration, we would like the chance to explain our program of action that will lead toward sustained development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Increasing aid and assistance to Africa is the number one priority of The World Bank as well as a personal goal of mine. I have always admired your position on fiscal responsibility and have applauded your calls for increased emphasis on the need to reduce the deficit. There is no question in my mind that you will prove to be a most effective Majority Leader. It is a very tough task but you are equal to it. If we ever can be of help to you, please feel free to call on us. Congratulations and good luck.
