A BILL
To amend the Bretton Woods Agreements Act to direct

States Director of the International Monetary Fund to
present to the Fund’s Executive Board a proposal to
amend the Fund’s bylaws to eliminate the Fund’s policy
of providing de facto tax-free salaries to certain Fund

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds as follows:
(1) The quota of the United States in the Inter-
national Monetary Fund is funded through United
States tax dollars and the United States contribu-
tion amounts to $36,200,000,000, or $517.47 for
each American family.
(2) The International Monetary Fund typically
makes demands concerning the fiscal policies of
member nations accessing its credit, and these de-
mands often include tax increases.
(3) International Monetary Fund employees
should not be insulated from the tax policies of their
home governments.
(4) Employees of the International Monetary
Fund are eligible to receive an income tax allowance.
(5) The International Monetary Fund states
that the tax allowance renders the after-tax incomes
of benefiting employees comparable to the incomes
of Fund employees whose incomes are not taxed by
their home governments.
(6) The bylaws of the International Monetary
Fund state that its Executive Board determines the
tax allowance to be reasonably related to the taxes
paid by employees on salaries and emoluments paid
by the Fund.
(7) The bylaws of the International Monetary
Fund may be amended by the Board of Governors
at any meeting or by vote without meeting.
SEC. 2. PROPOSAL TO ELIMINATE INCOME TAX ALLOW-
ANCE.

‘‘The Secretary of the Treasury shall instruct the

of, a proposal to amend the Fund’s bylaws to disallow the
Fund from issuing a tax allowance to the Governors, the
