The Treasury Secretary must order U.S. representatives at the World Bank and the Association to vote against loans benefiting a country that the President finds isn't stopping drug trafficking. This covers drugs sold illegally to U.S. government personnel abroad, or entering the U.S. unlawfully. The instruction stays in place until the President finds the country has fixed the problem.

The Secretary of the Treasury must instruct the United States Executive Directors of the World Bank (the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) and the Association to vote against any loan or other use of Bank or Association funds benefiting a country if the President has determined — and told the Treasury Secretary — that the country's government has failed to take adequate steps to stop narcotic drugs and other controlled substances (as defined by the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970) that are made, processed, or transported through that country from either being sold illegally there to U.S. government personnel or their dependents, or from entering the United States unlawfully. This instruction stays in effect until the President determines, and notifies the Treasury Secretary, that the country's government has now taken adequate steps to stop that illegal sale or entry of drugs.
