Rubin expects Congress to approve full IMF funding WASHINGTON, Oct 13 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin said on Tuesday he expected Congress to approve the Clinton administration's full request of $18 billion in funding for the International Monetary Fund. After meeting with top Congressional Republicans, Rubin told reporters: ''It would be fair to say there's a general expectation that this will lead to full funding for the IMF and also to real reform at the IMF in response to concerns'' by Republicans and Democrats in Congress. Rubin said there were still details that needed to be worked out before a deal between the administration and the Republican-led Congress could be finalized. ''There's a set of provisions that will lead to reforms that all concerned feel are constructive,'' Rubin said. biz.yahoo.com
