Paper Gold Plan Adopted In IMF Reform Pact
The United States won a weekend agreement with continental Europe on a plan to create new international money. The plan grants a veto over IMF operations to Common Market nations, including France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, though France may abstain for now. US officials say the plan is workable without French participation, with full effect likely a year or more away. Congress will be asked to approve the arrangement and the IMF reforms, which require an 85 percent vote to carry out major actions and boost fund quotas. Two major steps remain: basic money machinery approval and then implementation, with continued debate over French participation.
