22 U.S.C. § 262h — Opposition by United States Executive Directors of international financial institutions to assistance for production or extraction of export commodities or minerals in surplus on world markets

The Secretary of the Treasury must instruct the U.S. Executive Directors at nine institutions to oppose certain loans. Those institutions are: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International Development Association, the International Finance Corporation, the Inter-American Development Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Asian Development Bank, the Inter-American Investment Corporation, the African Development Bank, and the African Development Fund. The U.S. Executive Directors must use America's voice and vote to oppose any assistance from these institutions — using money appropriated or otherwise made available under any law — for producing or extracting a commodity or mineral meant for export, if both of these are true: (1) The commodity or mineral is already in surplus on world markets. (2) Exporting it would cause substantial injury to U.S. producers of the same, similar, or competing commodity or mineral.
