September 6, 2019 the Honorable Lindsey Graham the Honorable 1701 K STREET, N.W., SUITE 950 • WASHINGTON, D.C. 20006 • PHONE: 202.331.1616 • WWW.BRETTONWOODS.ORG September 6, 2019 The Honorable Lindsey Graham The Honorable Patrick Leahy Chairman Ranking Member State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Committee on Appropriations Committee on Appropriations United States Senate United States Senate Dear Senator Graham and Senator Leahy: We write to ask that you support both the authorization and appropriations for the general capital increase (GCI) for the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) of the World Bank Group. As you know, the World Bank Group’s shareholders endorsed an ambitious package of measures for the capital increase in 2018. It includes internal reforms and a set of policy measures that greatly strengthens the institution’s ability to scale up resources and deliver on its mission of fighting global poverty. It was developed in response to an increasingly complex development landscape and to confront emerging challenges to the global economy which will require a coordinated and sustained effort. The Bank has also developed, for the first time, a comprehensive strategy to address fragility, conflict and violence in countries where assistance is needed the most. It is important that the United States supports this effort because it: • Promotes National Security Interests World Bank support to countries where poverty and disease can breed political instability and foster extremism is vital to U.S. national security interests. World Bank projects promote stability in weak states and help mitigate cross-border problems – such as the Ebola outbreak and refugee crises – which precipitates positive spillover effects on national, regional, and global security fostering a safer world for all Americans. • Advances U.S. Business Opportunities Abroad With downside risks still threatening the global economic outlook, World Bank assistance to developing and emerging economies also means preserving and advancing the interests of U.S. business and American workers of companies that trade and invest in these countries. • Sustains Global Leadership Support ensures the U.S.’ ability to influence and direct lending and activities at the World Bank that align with U.S. values and policy priorities – especially important in a global economy where China and Russia seek to scale up influence. World Bank internal reforms included in this package are U.S. policy priorities that will continue to push the institution to improve effectiveness, transparency and accountability. We would therefore urge Congress to continue its longstanding, bipartisan support for the World Bank Group and fully authorize and appropriate the general capital increase (GCI) package.

The Installation ceremony began with a procession of the institution’s scholars, curators and scientists, representing not only the more than 6,000 staff who dedicate themselves to the Smithsonian’s mission today, but also the many thousands more who have advanced the fields of history, art and science since the institution’s founding in 1846. In 2015 alone we welcomed hundreds of thousands of people to the newly renovated Renwick Gallery (p. 6), our scientists peered to the edge of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way (p. 18) and our anthropologists helped identify the remains of leaders of the Jamestown colony (p. 28). The theme of this year’s annual report is “Now+Next” because the work we do today leads to the innovations of tomorrow. Thanks to the support of many generous private donations, Congress and the American people, we will continue to increase our understanding of the world, and to share that understanding with you.

  • Over 350 Experts Call for Entitlement Reform Now
    Insight Over 350 Experts Call for Entitlement Reform Now APRIL 2, 2011 Download the letter April 4, 2011 The Honorable John Boehner The Honorable Harry Reid Speaker of the House Senate Majority Leader Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Mitch McConnell House Minority Leader Senate Minority Leader Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Boehner, Minority Leader Pelosi, Majority Leader Reid, and Minority Leader McConnell: The President’s National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform concluded that we are at a national “moment of truth,” saying: “We cannot play games or put off hard choices any longer. Without regard to party, we have a patriotic duty to keep the promise of America to give our children and grandchildren a better life.” AMERICANACTIONFORUM.ORG To this end, the undersigned implore the Congress to include fundamental entitlement reform in its Budget Resolution for Fiscal Year 2012. There can be no greater national priority than reducing the prospective explosion of federal debt. It threatens the economic prosperity of this great country and represents a betrayal of our national obligation to deliver a better future to the next generations. Military leaders have identified future federal red ink as a national security threat. The unabated sea of federal spending lies at the intersection of these budgetary, economic, and national security threats. Reforming entitlements must be at the top of the agenda for the 112th Congress. Such an act of Congressional leadership will promote job growth, support more rapid economic growth, and rekindle the American dream of upward mobility.
