Most of the money has already been pledged: $200 million each from the U.S. (subject to congressional approval) and Japan, $100 million jointly from Australia and New Zealand, $300 million from 20 Asian nations and $100 million from Europe. The Soviet Union has not yet decided whether it will join (it suffers from a shortage of hard currencies, which it has been using to buy wheat), so far has contributed nothing to the project...
