§284e — Title 22 Foreign Relations and Intercourse | U.S. Code

Summary

The United States must make $320,290,000 available to subscribe to the Association. The U.S. Governor may vote for more resources and agree that the United States will pay $312,000,000, as recommended in the report dated September 9, 1963, and that $312,000,000 may be appropriated from taxpayer funds or money borrowed on the Nation’s credit. To keep costs down, the Treasury Secretary must issue special U.S. notes at face value and give them to the Association for dollars, under the rules in chapter 31 of title 31 and the Association’s articles. Those notes will pay no interest, cannot be traded, and must be payable on demand. The total of such notes outstanding cannot be more than the amount the United States actually paid to the Association. Any net-income payments from the Association must be turned into the U.S. Treasury as miscellaneous receipts.
