The Treasury Secretary must instruct the U.S. to vote against loans to countries that allow illegal drugs to reach America. This applies once the President makes that finding. The instruction lasts until the President finds the problem fixed.

The Secretary of the Treasury must instruct the U.S. Executive Director of the Asian Development Bank to vote against any loan or use of Bank funds that would benefit a country, once the President has determined — and told the Secretary of the Treasury — that country's government has failed to stop narcotic drugs and other controlled substances (as defined in the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970) made, processed, or shipped through that country from being illegally sold to U.S. government personnel or their families there, or from entering the United States unlawfully. This voting instruction stays in effect until the President determines — and again notifies the Secretary of the Treasury — that the country's government has finally taken adequate steps to stop that illegal sale or entry.
