§ Mrs. HartAt the request of the Zambian Government, the World Bank has established a consultative group for Zambia, which is expected to meet in Paris at the end of June, to discuss Zambia's needs of external assistance over and above the resources to be made available to her by the IMF under an agreement recently negotiated. I propose to make substantial bilateral aid available to Zambia in a form which can be quickly disbursed.
