22 U.S.C. § 285x — Additional subscription to shares

(a) United States share. The U.S. Governor of the Asian Development Bank may subscribe, on behalf of the United States, to 123,375 additional shares of the Bank's capital stock. But this subscription only actually happens to the extent Congress first approves the money in an appropriations law. (b) Authorization of appropriations. To pay for this increase, Congress authorizes $1,322,999,476 to be appropriated, with no deadline tied to any particular fiscal year. The Secretary of the Treasury pays this amount. (c) Continued membership of the Republic of China in the Bank. Congress makes several findings: Taiwan (the Republic of China) is a founding member of the Asian Development Bank in good standing; it has grown from a country that borrows money from the Bank into one that lends money to the Bank; and its economic success serves as a model for other Asian nations. Congress then states its sense — its opinion, not a binding rule — that: Taiwan should stay a full member of the Bank no matter how the People's Republic of China's membership application is resolved; the President and Secretary of State should publicly support Taiwan and make clear the United States won't accept attempts to expel Taiwan from the Bank; and the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House should send a copy of this resolution to the President, who should forward it to the Bank's Board of Governors.
