LAWRENCE HEBBARD Acting Secretary International Monetary Fund Washington, D.C. November 9,1966 ix ©International Monetary Fund. Not for Redistribution This page intentionally left blank ©International Monetary Fund. Not for Redistribution MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA1 Lyndon B. Johnson On behalf of the Government and the people of the United States I send a warm welcome to the Governors, Delegations, and the distinguished guests of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. You meet once again in the noble cause of international cooperation. The world, remembering your main past accomplishments, looks to you for continued leadership, strengthening the financial arrangements so vital to the common prosperity. The agenda for this meeting and for the coming year is of unusual importance. Your wisdom and imagination can benefit countless millions whose welfare is at stake. Your work, the works of peace embody the hopes and dreams of all men. I wish you every success. 1 Delivered by the Governor of the Fund and Bank for the United States at the Opening Joint Session, September 26, 1966. 1 ©International Monetary Fund. Not for Redistribution OPENING ADDRESS BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARDS OF GOVERNORS, THE GOVERNOR FOR IRAN1 Jamshid Amouzegar It is indeed a great privilege and a distinct honor for me to welcome you all to our twenty-first Annual Meetings, and to make a few introductory remarks about our organizations' past accom- plishments and their tasks ahead. First, however, I wish to thank the Government and people of the United States for their gracious hospitality and to extend a most cordial welcome to our guests. I extend a special welcome to the Governor for Singapore, which became the one hundred and fourth member of the Fund and Bank on August 3, and to the Governor for Guyana, who has today completed the steps making his country the one hundred and fifth member of the two organiza- tions. We should take special note, also, of the presence here of Delegations from the Gambia and from Indonesia, which have both applied for membership in these organizations. Twenty years ago tomorrow in this very same place, the Gover- nors of the Fund and the Bank gathered together for their first Annual Meetings. The twenty years in retrospect present vivid evidence of the vitality of a group of institutions, constantly looking forward, continually reappraising their mission while holding out stability to a gyrating world. In reflecting upon the past, I am torn between two sentiments: pride in our institutions and their achieve- ments, and disappointment that the world has not yet fully met the challenge of the fundamental issues of development. As for the accomplishments, the World Bank Group has so far provided more than $11 billion for development projects in 89 1 Delivered at the Opening Joint Session, September 26, 1966. 2 ©International Monetary Fund. Not for Redistribution ADDRESS BY CHAIRMAN OF BOARDS OF GOVERNORS 3 countries. In recent years they have taken an increasingly active role in agriculture and educational development while pursuing their paramount interest in the financing of infrastructure. They have given large-scale assistance for the growth of industry, and this activity will be broadened and accelerated as the momentum of IFC's operation continues and the Corporation exercises its new authority to borrow from the Bank. On more than one occasion, the Bank's objective intervention has deflected international discord and helped to channel energies into productive achievement. Increasingly, it has applied its experi- ence and professional competence to the search for solutions to some of the more intractable problems of development. The Con- vention on Settlement of Investment Disputes is one such result. The Bank's Executive Directors who proposed that Convention are now considering another to facilitate the flow of private funds by establishing a system for the international insurance of invest- ments. In addition, a study conducted by the Bank's staff has resulted in the outline of a Scheme for Supplementary Financial Measures, now under consideration by the United Nations Con- ference on Trade and Development.

  • Don Antonio Ortiz Mena, Hijo Predilecto De Parral
    Fragua de los Tiempos Diciembre 7 de 2008 # 796 Don Antonio Ortiz Mena, hijo predilecto de Parral Ahora que se habla tanto de la recesión en Estados Unidos y que nos encontramos ante un impredecible desorden económico en casi todo el mundo; ahora que se descubre la vulnerabilidad de nuestro país y se advierten los males que le esperan a corto plazo (por más que lo nieguen Calderón y Carstens), es menester recordar que en México se han conocido condiciones diferentes, donde la economía andaba dando tumbos pero se podían sortear las dificultades externas gracias a que su sistema hacendario y las finanzas se dirigían con responsabilidad; pero sobre todo porque en la dirección de Hacienda participaron profesionistas capaces que desempeñaron su cometido con honestidad y lealtad a México. Concretamente nos referimos a la situación del país en la medianía del siglo pasado, durante los sexenios de Ruiz Cortines y López Mateos, cuando la dirección del sistema hacendario estuvo bajo la responsabilidad del licenciado Antonio Ortiz Mena, quien brilló en la administración pública por su gran capacidad profesional y por su honestidad como administrador. No obstante, aunque en otros países se reconoce y se recuerda el genio del licenciado Ortiz Mena, el gobierno mexicano se ha olvidado de su legado y durante los últimos sexenios se ha hecho cada vez más evidente la descomposición del sistema tributario por la irresponsabilidad con que se ha manejado. Por los méritos que acumuló el licenciado Ortiz Mena en su vida, y porque estamos convencidos de que una sociedad se enriquece cuando reconoce, identifica y respeta a sus personajes más sobresalientes, hace tiempo que tenemos el propósito de escribir una semblanza de su biografía, y hasta ahora no hemos cumplido con ello debido a que nos reclaman otras tareas que vienen desde mucho tiempo atrás; sin embargo, en esta ocasión vamos a recurrir a algunas de nuestras fuentes con el fin de compartir con nuestros lectores algunos avances de lo que puede ser en el futuro la semblanza de este ilustre y ejemplar chihuahuense.

Upon entering a community, always introduce yourself and your fellow team members to the village chief and elders. Briefly explain the purpose of the survey, and be sure to gain permission before commencing data collection. Whenever possible, interview people alone; because some of the questions may address sensitive topics, the presence of another person may be distracting and may bias results. Always ask questions as they appear on the questionnaire, based on the translations agreed upon during the interviewer training. If questions are not asked in the same way, results will not be comparable. Unless otherwise indicated on the questionnaire, do not read response choices aloud; responses should be spontaneous. As a general rule, the response choices listed on the questionnaire should not be read aloud except for those questions containing 2 or more columns of check boxes (labeled ‘YES/NO/DK); items having either coded (numbered) response choices or a single column of check boxes should be posed as open-ended questions and responses should not be read aloud or prompted by the interviewer.

SAM K. GAISIE, M.A., Ph.D. During The Period: AUGUST 17 - AUGUST 30, 1980 Supported By The: U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (ADSS) AID/DS,'E-C-O053 AUTHORIZATION: Ltr. AID/DS/POP: 4/2/81 Assgn. No. 582057 PREFACE The members of the evaluation team wish to express their appreciation for the efforts of all the persons with whom they worked or conducted in­ terviews. These persons spared no pains to clarify many problems and to facilitate the inquiries of the team. Special thanks are due tu Dr. Morris Weiss and Mr. Ray Martin, of the USAID mission in Accra, and their spouses, who made themselves and their offices available to the team at all times, and to Dr. A.A. Armar and his staff in the Secretariat of the Ghana National Family Planning Program, who made all the arrangements for the team's con­ tacts and interviews. Because of the willingness of everyone in Ghana to assist with the mission, the team was able to complete its tasks even though it did not have enough time to make as thorough an evaluation a3 these important projects deserve. The views expressed in this report are those of the authors and should not be attributed to the governments of Ghana and the United States. -i ­ CONTENTS Page PREFACE i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY v General Findings vi Recommendations vii Conclusions ix ABBREVIATIONS x I.
