               TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
 
           CHAPTER 7--INTERNATIONAL BUREAUS, CONGRESSES, ETC.
 
Sec. 262g. Human nutrition in developing countries and United 
        States assistance policies with international financial 
        institutions; declaration of policy
        
    The Congress declares it to be the policy of the United States, in 
connection with its voice and vote in the International Bank for 
Reconstruction and Development, the International Development 
Association, the International Finance Corporation, the Inter-American 
Development Bank, the African Development Fund, the Asian Development 
Fund, and the Asian Development Bank, to combat hunger and malnutrition 
and to encourage economic development in the developing countries, with 
emphasis on assistance to those countries that are determined to improve 
their own agricultural production, by seeking to channel assistance for 
agriculturally related development to projects that would aid in 
fulfilling domestic food and nutrition needs and in alleviating hunger 
and malnutrition in the recipient country. The United States 
representatives to the institutions named in this section shall oppose 
any loan or other financial assistance for establishing or expanding 
production for export of palm oil, sugar, or citrus crops if such loan 
or assistance will cause injury to United States producers of the same, 
similar, or competing agricultural commodity.
