Liberal House Democrats are pressing for the inclusion of lending conditions for the International Monetary Fund to be added to the final version of the war supplemental bill that could come up for a vote in the House and Senate this week.
Democratic aides say the Senateâs decision last month to include $5 billion for the IMF in the $91.3 billion measure has emerged as a sticking point in the House, where both liberals and Republicans have criticized the funds. GOP lawmakers largely supported the Houseâs $96.7 billion bill, which funds the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but have criticized the inclusion of the IMF funds in the bill that later emerged from the Senate.
The $5 billion â added to the Senate bill only after the Congressional Budget Office agreed to score the funds on a credit basis, rather than at full cost â makes good on a pledge by President Barack Obama earlier this year to contribute $108 billion to the IMF.
But in a letter circulating for signatures, more than 30 House Democrats call the last-minute addition of the IMF funds â which the administration requested only after the House passed its version â a âblank checkâ for the IMF.
