CHAPTER IV
International Banks
A. The United States Commitment
s we shall see below there are a substantial number of
organizations devoted to social, economic and political causes
around the world. They vary from the United Nations at one end
to a group of international financial institutions often called “banks”1
which will be a large of this chapter. The United States is the largest
financial contributor to international institutions. Contributions are made
by the President with a close working relationship among the executive
office, the Departments of State and Treasury and the Congress,
including its various committees. While it is not necessary that all
contributions be specifically allocated to that purpose by Congress,
contributions to international financial institutions are considered to be
“subject to the appropriations process”
