More than three years passed before new US Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady set out a more satisfactory program, in which banks would be given a menu of options that included lower interest rates on the debt and a hefty discount on the principal. If creditor banks were unwilling to accept some form of restructuring, they would have to put in new money.
又过了三年多，新一任美国财长布雷迪（Nicholas Brady）制定了一个更令人满意的计划：让持有债权的银行选择，要么收取更低的利息，要么给本金打个大折扣。如果债权银行不愿接受任何形式的债务重组，就得追加放贷。允许将国际机构的贷款用于赎回折后债权。
