Washington, DC 20009. P02) 387-2500 January 27. 1993 Fax: Mr. Bruce Lindsey Director. White House Office of Personnel Old Executive Office Building Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Lindsey. We understand that in the next few days the Administration will be choosing among candidates to fill the office of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs. This post is one of the most critical ones for non-governmental groups concerned with international environmental and economic development issues. The position is of key importance for all those concerned with the developing world because of its oversight of U.S. participation in public international financial institutions, including the World Bank. It is of critical importance that this position be filled by someone with outstanding stature and experience in international economic affairs who has demonstrated practical understanding of. and sensitivity to critical issues of equity and environmental sustainability. We believe there is no candidate more qualified and proven in this regard than Jerome Levinson, whose experience in international economic development dates back thirty years. A number of our groups have worked with Mr. Levinson during his tenure as chief counsel of the Inter-American Development Bank. and can testify to his practical political skill and will. and to his commitment to environmentally sustainable development and social equity. It is our perception, and we believe the perception of many others in the non-governmental environment and development community. that the team at Treasury dealing with public international financial institutions. consultations of the Group of Seven and with developing nations can best serve the interests of U.S. policy with a balance of skills and experience, including experience in the areas of environmentally sustainable development and social equity in the developing world. We believe that the appointment of Mr. Levinson to the Treasury Department would help to ensure that these critical concerns are addressed in U.S. international economic diplomacy and policy. We hope you will seriously consider Mr. Levinson for the post of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs.
