22 U.S.C. § 290l–8 — Congressional consultations

While negotiations happen to set up the Bank's operational guidelines, the Secretary of the Treasury must do three things. First, regularly and promptly consult with the House Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs, the House Committee on Appropriations, the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and the Senate Committee on Appropriations. Second, work to make sure the Bank sets up procedures and mechanisms — including creating specific departments or staff within the Bank — so the Bank can assess how its loans, guarantees, and other activities affect the environment and internationally recognized human rights in the countries that borrow from it. Third, report back to those same committees, through consultation, within 90 days after November 5, 1990, on how that effort was going.
