The hearing entitled "How America Leads Abroad: An Examination of Multilateral Development Institutions"provided an opportunity to question witnesses on two bills to authorize capital increases for international financial institutions. Congressman Riggleman questioned the committee witnesses on their critique of career public servant David Malpass. "One senior fellow said, 'David Malpass' disdain for the World Bank's mission of fighting global poverty rivals John Bolton's respect for the United Nations. There is no case for Malpass on merit,'" said Congressman Riggleman. "This kind of partisanship from the Center is extremely disappointing because Republicans and Democrats have benefitted from its testimony and research in past years."
