Peter McPherson, Administrator of the Agency for International Development, signed a tripartite agreement setting out the parties' understanding regarding the fund and its financing by the United States. Article 2 provided that, before establishment of the fund, the Governments of Ireland and of the United Kingdom (the "two Governments"), and after its establishment, the board of the fund would involve the United States (the "Donor") in substantive discussions in order to take into account, inter alia, the concerns and the procedural and programmatic emphases expressed by Congress in authorizing and appropriating the assistance granted. In Article 3 the United States agreed to grant as a contribution to the fund's capital a sum not to exceed $50 million, with disbursement taking place only after the two Governments had furnished to the Donor evidence, as detailed in Article 4, of the establishment of a trust account with a recognized trustee bank, which would receive and hold the grant pending (completion of) legal establishment of the fund and satisfaction of certain evidentiary requirements regarding its administration and operation, specified in Annex B to the Agreement.
