Clinton urges Congress to vote more funds for IMF>>>> It is important that the United States do what it can to support Asia through its economic crisis, President Bill Clinton said on Tuesday, urgingCongress to approve more money for the International Monetary Fund. Clinton told a news conference he was encouraged by South Korean steps to implement the IMF's plan for South Korean economic recovery, and said the agency should take the lead in international efforts to assist Asia. Asked how Asia's crisis would affect the U.S. economy, Clinton said the economy was strong. and new statistics showing low inflation and strong business investments ''show that we have significant capacity to continue to grow from within.'' Clinton said financial aid to Asia should continue to be led by the IMF and other leading institutions, but said ''we (the United States) should be there, along with Japan and other countries in a supporting capacity if necessary.'' After appointing Bill Lann Lee in total defiance of the senate, Clinton will get no help from anyone. This will be interesting, for sure.
