Scope and content

This series consists of chronological correspondence from when Jessica P. Einhorn served as Director of the Finance Operations Department (FOD). The records include incoming and outgoing correspondence, memoranda, notes, faxes, telexes, and emails. The bulk of the records are communications to or from internal World Bank units and staff, including Vice President and Treasurer (TREVP) Donald C. Roth, Senior Vice President of Finance (FINSV) Ernest Stern, and the Tokyo Office. Also included is external correspondence with commercial banking firms and national banks.

The chronological correspondence relates primarily to the functions of the Financial Operations Department, which borrowed funds required to meet the World Bank's debt obligations, loan disbursements, and operating expenses. One folder of miscellaneous incoming correspondence includes external and sometimes personal correspondence, a portion of which was received prior to Einhorn's appointment in FOD.
