CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGY

SEC. 537. (a) FINDINGS- The Congress finds as follows:

(1) The United States is the world leader in the development of environmental technologies, particularly clean coal technology.

(2) Severe pollution problems affecting people in developing countries, and the serious health problems that result from such pollution, can be effectively addressed through the application of United States technology.

(3) During the next century, developing countries, particularly countries in Asia such as China and India, will dramatically increase their consumption of electricity, and low quality coal will be a major source of fuel for power generation.

(4) Without the use of modern clean coal technology, the resultant pollution will cause enormous health and environmental problems leading to diminished economic growth in developing countries and, thus, diminished United States exports to those growing markets.

(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY- It is the policy of the United States to promote the export of United States clean coal technology. In furtherance of that policy, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury (acting through the United States executive directors to international financial institutions), the Secretary of Energy, and the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) should, as appropriate, vigorously promote the use of United States clean coal technology in environmental and energy infrastructure programs, projects and activities.

`SEC. 63. PRINCIPLES FOR INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND LENDING.

`It is the policy of the United States to work to implement reforms in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to achieve the following goals:

`(a) SHORT-TERM BALANCE OF PAYMENTS FINANCING- Lending from the general resources of the Fund should concentrate chiefly on short-term balance of payments financing.

`(b) LIMITATIONS ON MEDIUM-TERM FINANCING- Use of medium-term lending from the general resources of the Fund should be limited to a set of well-defined circumstances, such as--

`(1) when a member's balance of payments problems will be protracted,

`(2) such member has a strong structural reform program in place, and

`(3) the member has little or no access to private sources of capital.

`(c) PREMIUM PRICING- Premium pricing should be introduced for lending from the general resources of the Fund, for greater than 200 per centum of a member's quota in the Fund, to discourage excessive use of Fund lending and to encourage members to rely on private financing to the maximum extent possible.

`(d) REDRESSING MISREPORTING OF INFORMATION- The Fund should have in place and apply systematically a strong framework of safeguards and measures to respond to, correct, and discourage cases of misreporting of information in the context of a Fund program, including--

`(1) Suspending Fund disbursements and ensuring that Fund lending is not resumed to members that engage in serious misreporting of material information until such time as remedial actions and sanctions, as appropriate, have been applied;

`(2) Ensuring that members make early repayments, where appropriate, of Fund resources disbursed on the basis of misreported information;

`(3) Making public cases of serious misreporting of material information;

`(4) Requiring all members receiving new disbursements from the Fund to undertake annually independent audits of central bank financial statements and publish the resulting audits; and

`(5) Requiring all members seeking new loans from the Fund to provide to the Fund detailed information regarding their internal control procedures, financial reporting and audit mechanisms and, in cases where there are questions about the adequacy of these systems, undertaking an on-site review and identifying needed remedies.'.
