Sec. 286k. Further promotion of international economic relations


(a) Congressional declaration of policy

    In the realization that additional measures of international 
economic cooperation are necessary to facilitate the expansion and 
balanced growth of international trade and render most effective the 
operations of the Fund and the Bank, it is declared to be the policy of 
the United States to seek to bring about further agreement and 
cooperation among nations and international bodies, as soon as possible, 
on ways and means which will best reduce obstacles to and restrictions 
upon international trade, eliminate unfair trade practices, promote 
mutually advantageous commercial relations, and otherwise facilitate the 
expansion and balanced growth of international trade and promote the 
stability of international economic relations. In considering the 
policies of the United States in foreign lending and the policies of the 
Fund and the Bank, particularly in conducting exchange transactions, the 
Council and the United States representatives on the Fund and the Bank 
shall give careful consideration to the progress which has been made in 
achieving such agreement and cooperation.

(b) Transmittal of information to Congressional committees

    The President shall, upon the request of any committee of the 
Congress with legislative or oversight jurisdiction over monetary policy 
or the International Monetary Fund, provide to such committee any 
appropriate information relevant to that committee's jurisdiction which 
is furnished to any department or agency of the United States by the 
International Monetary Fund. The President shall comply with this 
provision consistent with United States membership obligations in the 
International Monetary Fund and subject to such limitations as are 
appropriate to the sensitive nature of the information.
