Eisenhower urges IMF and World Bank increases
President Eisenhower asked Congress to approve a 1.575 billion increase in the U.S. gold and dollar contribution to the International Monetary Fund and to double the American World Bank subscription from 3.175 billion to 6.35 billion. He said the changes require no cash outlay for the World Bank rise and urged unanimous support from other nations to keep pace with expanding world trade and investment needs. The IMF cash increase would fit within the 1960 budget plan if approved before July 1, part of the projected 12.9 billion deficit for the year.
