Development Loans-Revolving Fund-Continued

The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 authorized a 5-year, $7.2 billion program of development loans to be administered by the new Agency for International Development. This program replaced the Development Loan Fund corporation, which was abolished November 3, 1961. $773.7 million was appropriated for development loans in 1965 and $780.3 million is proposed for 1966.

Development loans are repayable in U.S. dollars. Under the provisions of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1964, interest charged on all loans, with the exception of those covered by special provisions relative to the use of the facilities of the International Development Association and those funds already committed to be loaned, will be at an interest rate of not less than 22% per annum. Loan repayments must begin not later than 10 years following the date on which the funds are lent. During the initial 10-year period the rate of interest shall not be lower than 1% per annum.

Development loans are made to promote the economic
development of less-developed countries and areas, usually
to assist in financing long-range development plans and
programs. Before a loan is made, the Agency for Inter-
national Development must take into account (1) whether
financing could be obtained in whole or in part from other
free world sources on reasonable terms, including private
sources within the United States, (2) the economic and
technical soundness of the activity to be financed, includ-
ing the capacity of the recipient country to repay the loan
at a reasonable rate of interest, (3) whether the activity
gives reasonable promise of contributing to the develop-
ment of economic resources or to the increase of productive
capacities, (4) the consistency of the activity with, and
its relationship to, other development activities being Invested capital and earnings.
undertaken or planned, and its contribution to realistic
long-range objectives, (5) the extent to which the recipient
country is demonstrating its determination to take effec-
tive self-help measures, and (6) possible effects upon the
economy of the United States. Development loans are
not made unless there is a finding of a reasonable prospect
of repayment. Additional loan criteria and standards are
established by an interagency Development Loan Com- 25.2 Other services: services of other agencies.

MUTUAL DEFENSE AND DEVELOPMENT-Con.

Public enterprise funds-Continued

Development Loan Fund (Liquidation Account)-Continued The Development Loan Fund was established as a corporation by the Mutual Security Act of 1958 to extend loans, credits, and guarantees to American or foreign individuals, businesses, financial institutions, or foreign governments in order to provide capital for projects and programs contributing to the economic growth of friendly less-developed countries.

Under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, the Development Loan Fund Corporation was abolished and its functions were transferred, effective November 3, 1961, to the Agency for International Development. As of that date, the Fund had approved 217 loans and allocations and 3 guarantees for development assistance in 50 countries amounting to $2,008.5 million. Of this total, 203 loans and guarantee agreements had been signed totaling $1,887.3 million of which $632.9 million was actually disbursed, leaving $1.254.8 million in undisbursed loan and guarantee agreements still outstanding. In addition, the Fund had $120.8 million unobligated funds outstanding to provide for approved but unsigned loans. Approximately 24% of all loans were repayable in dollars and 76% in foreign currencies.

A total of $2 billion was appropriated to the Fund, in addition to which receipts from operations totaling approximately $15.5 million was available including $5.8 million realized from foreign currency receipts sold to the U.S. Treasury for dollars. Subsequent to November 3, 1961, the Fund has remained open for the purpose of liquidating outstanding obligations and approved but unsigned loans. As of June 30, 1964, the undisbursed loan agreements amounted to $391.6 million. It is estimated that this balance will decrease to $236.1 million in 1965 and to $57.8 million in 1966.

Loan repayments and interest earned totaled $124.6 million in 1964, and are scheduled to total $150.7 million in 1965 and $178.9 million in 1966.

All guarantees are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. As of June 30, 1964, total reserves available for all authorized investment guarantees was -74,191-82,352 $273,263 thousand. That amount is expected to suffice

to handle any claims that might reasonably be anticipated to mature before a supplemental appropriation could be obtained from the Congress to restore the liquidity of the

program.

The current status and requested increase in statutory authorizations for specific risk, extended risk, and Latin American housing programs are indicated below.

(a) Specific risk.-In order to meet a rising demand for coverage, an increase in authority of $2.5 billion is requested in 1966. The presently authorized level is $2.5 billion.

extended risk guarantees available for self-liquidating pilot or demonstration housing projects in Latin America to stimulate private home ownership for middle and lowermiddle income families. These projects are of a type similar to those insured by the Federal Housing Administration and suitable for conditions in Latin America.

(b) Extended risk.-No increase above the $300 million ceiling presently available will be requested for 1966. (c) Extended risk.-For Latin American housing projects, a 2-year increase in authority of $100 million is requested in 1966 to allow a cumulative total of $350 million in outstanding housing guarantees. (The present -9,500 ceiling is $250 million.)

Guarantees are available for investment in those countries whose governments have agreed with the Government of the United States to institute the investment guarantee program, and where there are suitable arrangements to protect the interests of the U.S. Government in connection with assets or claims acquired as a result of having provided relief under a guarantee. Continued progress has been made in reaching these agreements with countries that had previously not participated, particularly in Africa. Guarantees are available in 61 of the developing countries.

Operating costs and administration.-The value of guarantees issued is as follows (in thousands of dollars):

The investment guarantee program encourages and facilitates participation by U.S. businesses in developing Specific risk guarantees issued. the economies of the underdeveloped countries. There are three statutory types of investment guarantees. First, there are the specific risk guarantees which insure a U.S. investor against loss from inconvertibility of the local currency, from expropriation or confiscation, or from war, revolution, or insurrection. Second, there are the extended risk guarantees through which up to 75% of an investment may be insured against loss from any causes other than the investor's own misconduct or normally insurable risks, such as fire and theft. Third, there are
