RECORD TYPE: PRESIDENTIAL (ALL-IN-1 MAIL) CREATOR: Richard J. Turman (TURMAN_R) (OMB) CREATION DATE/TIME:25-MAR-1996 19:36:23.30 SUBJECT: FYI -- Please hold TO: Jeffrey Levi (LEVI_J) (WHO) READ:26-MAR-1996 08:32:52.76 CC: Victoria A. Wachino (WACHINO_VA) (OMB) READ:26-MAR-1996 10:11:00.76 TEXT: ATTACHMENT 1 ATT CREATION TIME/DATE:25-MAR-1996 19:23:00.00 ATT BODYPART TYPE:B ATT CREATOR: Richard J. Turman ATT SUBJECT: OAR Draft Text/Winnie Discussion ATT TO: Nancy-Ann E. Min (MIN_N) ATT TO: James I. Blount (BLOUNT_J) ATT CC: Barry T. Clendenin (CLENDENIN_B) ATT CC: Victoria A. Wachino (WACHINO_VA) ATT CC: Elisabeth S. Topel (TOPEL_E) TEXT: I've modified the Pelosi text to drop the explicit dollar amount and replace it with "sufficient funding as determined...." Notwithstanding any other provision of law, of the amounts made available for the National Institutes of Health in Public Law 104-91, sufficient funding as determined by the Director of the National Institutes of Health shall be available to the Office of AIDS Research for carrying out part D of Title XXIII of the Public Health Service Act; Provided, That the Director of the Office of AIDS Research shall transfer from this appropriation the amounts necesary to carry out section 2353 (d) of the Act. I spoke with Winnie. She had not drafted any language. We discussed the concept of saying something like 'sufficient funding as determined.. She seemed to think it would be ok, and better than the Senate language (which is better than the House language). She wanted to talk with some in the community to see what they thought, since she can't speak for the whole community. I said ok ONLY if she presented it as her idea and didn't mention me, the Administration, etc. -- since I was only fooling around with language and had not even shared it with you yet. She said fine -- she would present it as a concept of hers, and not mention the executive branch. She said that if you approve the language or some variant, that that would be helpful to know at some point. She'll call me back in the morning unless she can get a quick read tonight, in which case she may call you this evening. The main question she will be working with the community is whether it is better to seek compromise language like this or continue to press for unadulterated Pelosi language.

However, the VP and the Chief of Staff want our office to have some sort of role in the process. Do you have a name and number of someone at the Keystone Center that I could speak with about involving (in a limited way) Greg/Skila in the process? Thanks. Also,I want to make sure the Keystone Center takes into account the suggestions we had re: their proposal (inviting doctors, providing in it's final report several suggested solutions to the post-marketing trials problem; including funding and that they would consider the VP 4-part collaboration suggestion). Should I include this in the letter from the VP? Call me or e-mail me when you get a chance. Thanks.

A1; Gillis, Justin The recent approval of costly new AIDS drugs, which could raise the cost of treating HIV from $2,500 a year to $12,000, leaves cities and states in the difficult position of trying to devise ways to help pay for them. In the face of federal government spending shortfalls, Maryland Gov. Parris Glendening has promised about $1 million in additional state funds to pay for the new drugs. In addition, the Clinton administration has asked Congress to approve an extra $52 million for drug payment programs, but the request has been stymied by the budget debate. Scientists hope the new drugs will allow HIV-infected individuals to live longer, more productive lives. "Stricken, But Speaking Out" Philadelphia Inquirer (03/25/96) P. F5; Reeves, Tracey A. Since finding out in 1992 that she has HIV, Lisa Tiger has become an AIDS activist in the American Indian community, sharing her story and telling others that anyone can get AIDS, including people like her from the rural middle class. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that as of June 1995, 1,010 American Indians had AIDS, but people like Tiger and Miguel Marinez of the National Native American AIDS Prevention Center claim the figure is too low. Daniel Simpson, an AIDS coordinator for the Indian Health Service, says the infection rate is underreported because AIDS is a taboo subject in the American Indian community. "Fanfare: Auto Racing" Washington Post (03/25/96) P. C2 Auto racer Tim Richmond infected several women with HIV before he died in 1989, according to the Miami Herald. Richmond's former fiancee, LaGena Lookabill Greene, announced last year that she had AIDS and that she was infected by Richmond. The Herald reported that two other of Richmond's partners also have AIDS and that another one has died. "FDA Approves Human Testing of Preventive AIDS Vaccine" Knight-Ridder/Tribune Business News (03/25/96); Shaw, Donna For the first time, a preventive AIDS vaccine made with HIV DNA will be tested in uninfected people. The vaccine, made by Apollon Inc. and the University of Pennsylvania, will be given to 16 HIV-negative volunteers who will be followed for 18 months to determine the vaccine's safety and efficacy. The vaccine's two parts--one containing the genes for the production of key HIV proteins and the other containing genes to make viral core proteins, will be tested separately. Also, a DNA-based Apollon-Penn vaccine designed to delay the onset of AIDS is now being tested in HIV-infected individuals. "Vaginal Microbicides Explored for AIDS Prevention" Reuters (03/22/96) Researchers have found several compounds that may be used as vaginal microbicides for preventing HIV infection. Dr. Rudi Pauwels of the Institute for Antiviral Research in Belgium and colleagues report that little attention has been given to the chemical prevention of HIV infection and that spermicides with HIV-inactivating action may have promise to block heterosexual HIV transmission. Nonoxynol 9 and chlorhexidine are two virucidals being studied, and compounds that target other steps in the viral replication cycle could be valuable as secondary barriers. "Leading AIDS Researcher Warns of Second Epidemic" Reuters (03/22/96) Dr. Max Essex, chairman of the Harvard AIDS Institute, warns that the United States may be facing a second AIDS epidemic. HIV-1B, the common HIV type in the United States and Europe, is transmitted through injection drug use, blood products and primary homosexual contact. HIV-1C, -E, -D, and -A subtypes, especially HIV-1C and HIV-E, are currently spreading rapidly in Southeast Asia and Africa. Essex says that these non-B strains are transmitted primarily through vaginal intercourse, and are a greater threat to the world's population. Furthermore, he says that if they took hold in the United States or Europe, they could cause "a heterosexual epidemic of significantly greater magnitude." "TB A Threat in Latin America, Caribbean" Reuters (03/22/96); Kenen, Joanne Tuberculosis (TB) remains a public health problem in much of Latin America and the Caribbean, killing more than 70,000 people in 1995, the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) reported Friday. Of all the TB-related deaths in the Western Hemisphere last year, 95 percent were in Latin America and the Caribbean. The countries with the worst epidemics include Bolivia, Peru, the Dominican Republic, and Ecuador. PAHO estimates that less than 70 percent of the TB patients receive complete treatment, increasing the likelihood of resistant TB strains developing. A PAHO official said that even poor countries can fight the epidemic with consistent treatment, citing Peru and Nicaragua as examples. "Advisory on Zidovudine to Reduce HIV Transmission From Mother to Infant Sent to Thousands of Health Care Providers" Health Resources and Services Administration (03/22/96) The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) announced Friday that it has provided its service providers with information about offering therapy for HIV-infected pregnant women to reduce viral transmission to their infants. "Program Advisory: Use of Zidovudine (ZDV) to Reduce Perinatal HIV Transmission in HRSA-Funded Programs" offers useful strategies and options for helping women to make practical decisions about ZDV treatment. Included in the 30-page document is a model form to document provider counseling, patient choice for administration of the ZDV therapy, and previous suggestions from the U.S. Public Health Service concerning HIV testing and counseling for infected pregnant women and ZDV use. HRSA Administrator Ciro V. Sumaya said, "We must ensure that women are fully informed and understand that the decision is ultimately theirs." According to HRSA, which works with thousands of health care providers in such programs as the Community and Migrant Health Centers and the Ryan White CARE Act, the guidance should represent the standard of care for pregnant women and be followed in all programs funded by the agency. "Lamivudine Resistance May be Associated with Beneficial Effects" Lancet (03/02/96) Vol. 347, No. 9001, P. 603; Choo, Vivien Patients in clinical studies develop resistance to lamivudine (3TC) after 12 weeks of monotherapy, but do well regardless. This could be because the resistant strain appears at the same time immunity against viral replication develops. Vinayaka Prasad of Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Mark Wainberg of McGill University conducted a study with the M184V strain, which can be 1,000 times more resistant than the wild-type virus to 3TC. The researchers found that HIV antibodies decreased seven times faster in zidovudine-treated patients than they did in patients treated with 3TC. This suggests that the M184V strain may have prevented the emergence of strains that help the virus escape attack by antibodies. The researchers also found that when the strain was grown in the presence of anti-HIV agents, it prevented the emergence of variants that were resistant to them.

At least 1.5 million South Africans have the virus, though 80 percent have not developed AIDS. Industry observers note that the plateau of HIV infection in developed countries could deter insurers in the west from developing similar policies. MetLife's coverage is limited to people aged 15 to 55 who are in the asymptomatic stages of HIV infection. The maximum death benefit is $12,800. "AIDS Drug Is Approved by 4 European Countries" Wall Street Journal (03/26/96) P. B8 NeXstar Pharmaceuticals Inc., of Boulder, CO, announced that Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, and Norway have cleared DaunoXome, the company's new drug for Kaposi's sarcoma, for marketing. NeXstar said it would begin selling the drug in Germany and the Netherlands within the next few weeks and that its marketing partner in the Nordic countries would handle the drug's sales in Finland and Norway. The drug was previously approved in Sweden and the United Kingdom. "Review & Outlook: AIDS Babies" Wall Street Journal (03/26/96) P. A18 In a Wall Street Journal editorial, the authors urge the support of an amendment to the Ryan White Care Reauthorization Act that would require mandatory HIV testing of babies born to mothers who were not tested. Members of a House-Senate conference committee are scheduled to work on the legislation on Tuesday. Studies have shown that mothers with HIV who take AZT during pregnancy lessen the chance of infecting their infants by two-thirds. Still, many mothers at risk for HIV are not tested or treated; then, their babies are born with HIV and also often go untreated. AIDS activists and feminist groups have opposed mandatory testing of newborns, arguing that it infringes on the mother's privacy. The authors note, however, that if the Ryan White CARE Act is reauthorized without the Ackerman-Coburn provision, HIV-positive infants will not be included in a measure whose title carries the name of a child that died from the disease. "Drawbacks of Mandatory HIV Tests, Counseling" Philadelphia Inquirer (03/26/96) P. A8; Smith, David Gary In a letter to the editor in the Philadelphia Inquirer, David Gary Smith, a physician at Abington Memorial Hospital, points out that mandatory HIV testing of pregnant women could keep women at risk from getting proper prenatal care. While studies have estimated that counseling women about being tested for HIV can reduce HIV transmission to newborns by 66 percent, inadequate mandatory testing, Smith says, could also have a negative impact. Smith further notes that Philadelphia's health commissioner, Estelle B. Richman, has led the way for maximizing the benefits of testing and minimizing the risks of a health-care intervention by forming an advisory board, which in December stressed the need for effective outreach and counseling for pregnant women. "AIDS Conference Adopts Hopeful Spirit" Toronto Globe and Mail (03/25/96) P. A4 AIDS Researchers and health workers say the 11th International Conference on AIDS, to be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, will be optimistic and hopeful. "The mood among this group is that we are taking our understanding of the virus and its effects to unprecedented and exciting new levels," said Vancouver researcher Michael O'Shaughnessy. The conference will be held July 7 to 12 and is expected to be the most significant event of the year for researchers studying HIV. "Experimental AIDS Vaccine Volunteer Infected" Reuters (03/25/96) One of 24 volunteers participating in a test of an experimental AIDS vaccine developed by United Biomedical Inc. of Hauppauge, NY, has been infected with HIV. Dr. James Kahn of the University of California, San Francisco, reports that the individual who was infected had received four doses of the vaccine; however, the vaccine is not thought to be the source of infection because it does not contain live virus. Khan notes the trial was designed to assess the vaccine's safety, not its efficacy. "Anti-HIV Agent Inhibits Early Step in HIV Life Cycle" Reuters (03/25/96) Researchers at Sandoz in Austria and SyStemix Inc. in Palo Alto report promising results with an experimental anti-HIV compound called SID 791. SID 791 is a bicyclam, which inhibits an early step in the life cycle of HIV, presumably a step associated with the virus' entry into cells. Experiments in mice suggest that the compound alone, or in combination with other antivirals, could decrease the viral load in HIV-infected patients, and that HIV therapy should target the virus' entry into the cell. "Thalidomide: Facilitates Weight Gain in Persons with HIV and M. Tuberculosis Infections" Reuters (03/25/96) Thalidomide may help people with HIV and other infections gain weight, researchers at New York University Medical Center and Rockefeller University report. Gilla Kaplan of Rockefeller University led the study of 32 patients with HIV-1, some of whom also had tuberculosis. Kaplan says that tumor necrosis factor-alpha is made by the body to defend against infection, but it may also cause fever, weakness, and wasting. Thalidomide, which is known to inhibit the synthesis of TNG-alpha, might prevent continued wasting, and even help patients gain weight, the researchers surmised. "Persistent Lack of Detectable HIV-1 Antibody in a Person with HIV Infection--Utah, 1995" Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (03/08/96) Vol. 45, No. 9, P. 181; Reimer, L.; Brokopp, C.; Mottice, S.; et al. Last year, a patient in Utah was found to be infected with HIV even though he tested negative for the HIV-antibody beyond the expected "window period." The patient--who experienced fatigue, weight loss, and a respiratory illness--had frequently donated plasma, and each donation was also negative for the antibody. However, his wife, who had sexual contact with a man who later died of AIDS, tested positive for HIV. The patient said he had not used injection drugs, had a transfusion, or had male-to-male sexual contact. Blood samples from the patient were analyzed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration. Several test kits were used, and while some showed no reaction, some showed a weak reaction, and a test for HIV-1 p24 antigen showed positive results. An editorial accompanying the report says that the man probably was infected by his wife and that the negative tests were probably a result of an atypical host response to the virus--an occurrence which has been reported in a small number of patients before. "Pregnant Nurse Won't Treat HIV Patient" American Medical News (03/04/96) Vol. 39, No. 9, P. 22 A federal appellate court in Alabama has affirmed summary judgment of a hospital sued for discrimination by a pregnant nurse who refused to treat an HIV-positive patient. The nurse, who was in her first trimester of pregnancy, refused to treat a cryptococcal meningitis patient who was HIV-positive. She was especially concerned about contracting one of the opportunistic diseases associated with HIV because she had gestational diabetes and was immunocompromised. The nurse--who was fired for her decision, but resigned before the termination took effect--sued the hospital four months later when she learned that it had not assumed payment of her student loans, which was part of her employment contract. The hospital was granted partial summary judgment, which the nurse appealed and the appellate court affirmed. The court held that the nurse failed to establish a prima facie case of discrimination. She did not show that hospital rules allowed a pregnant nurse to refuse to treat an HIV-positive patient or that the hospital policy concerning patients with HIV resulted in disproportionate impact on pregnant nurses.

It assesses the federal government's response to the emerging threat of transmission of HIV through blood and blood products during the period 1982 -1986. To date, according to the report, over 12,000 blood transfusion recipients and about half of the nation's 16,000 hemophiliacs contracted HIV from the blood supply. This has been a very emotional issue throughout the epidemic. It has been the focus, in recent years, of a good deal of activity from the hemophilia community including class action suits and the introduction of legislation by Rep. Peter Goss of Florida to create a compensation fund ($125,000 per person) for those who were infected with HIV by blood products. The legislation is named for Ricky Ray, one of the individuals cited by the President in his speech last week. It should be noted that the risk of HIV transmission through blood and blood products is extremely low (1 in 450,000) with the implementation of screening for HIV itself in 1984. According to HHS, there are no known cases of transfusion -associated HIV transmission since 1987 (although the latency period between infection and disease has not closed yet). The IOM Committee's conclusions can be summarized by their belief "that a failure of leadership may have delayed effective action during the period from 1982 to 1984. This failure led to less than effective donor screening, weak regulatory actions, and insufficient communication to patients about the risks of AIDS." Findings of the IOM Committee Among the findings of the Committee are: ? The Public Health Service failed to respond aggressively to the crisis, even after it was clear that HIV could be transmitted through blood and blood products. At critical junctures, PHS leadership took the least controversial route to avoid criticism and the FDA failed to adequately exercise its regulatory powers. ? The PHS and FDA advisory processes were too dominated by the blood industry to afford objective consideration of the evidence. Too often, decisions were made based on economic TOP EVEN Memorandum for Carol Rasco/July 10, 1995/Page \p concerns. (The National Hemophilia Foundation is also strongly criticized for not taking the threat seriously enough and being influenced by financial support from the blood industry.) ? The PHS is also criticized for not adequately coordinating its response among the various agencies. The CDC, for example, issued strong warnings about taking stronger steps to protect the blood supply, but these were not heeded -- nor were dissenters required to respond to their concerns systematically. ? The ultimate failure was that PHS did not mandate or move quickly enough on three interventions that might have better protected the blood supply: (1) Rapid implementation of heat treatment of factor VIII (the blood product used by hemophiliacs). Heat treatment kills HIV and is now standard practice. (2) FDA requiring aggressive donor screening. The IOM Committee feels that "political pressure" from the gay community prevented the blood industry and the FDA from requiring more aggressive screening out of homosexuals from donating blood. (There are some historical inaccuracies here: In fact, the gay community in New York worked closely with the New York Blood Center to develop a screening mechanism that urged those at risk to mark their donation for "research purposes" -- therefore not requiring "outing" of individuals who were donating blood but still at removing those individuals from the donor pools. This turned out (from retrospective studies) to be quite successful; however, it was not widely adopted.) (3) FDA should have required surrogate marker screening of the blood -- specifically hepatitis B testing. This was rejected as too expensive and perhaps threatening the adequacy of the blood supply by the industry. Hepatitis testing of donations should have occurred well before the HIV epidemic, the IOM committee argues. In some studies, 60 -80% of HIV infected blood donations were also positive for hepatitis B. Clearly, this would have made a dramatic difference in HIV transmission had it been in place ? The government failed to communicate to physicians and patients treating those at risk for HIV through blood products the extent of the problem -- thus denying them the chance to consider alternative therapies that might have reduced their risk of contracting HIV. Recommendations Among the recommendations of the committee are: appointment of a TOP ODD Memorandum for Carol Rasco/July 10, 1995/Page \p PHS -level Blood Safety Director who can coordinate protection of the blood supply; the establishment of a Blood Safety Council, with more independent representation, to advise the government on blood policy issues; and "the Federal government should consider establishing a no -fault compensation system for individuals who suffer adverse consequences from the use of blood or blood products." The recommendation regarding compensation is made prospectively, but the committee says the "no -fault' principles outlined might serve to guide policymakers as they consider whether to implement a compensation system for those infected in the 1980s." The Administration's Response Secretary Shalala will be taking the lead in responding, since this is an issue within HHS and she requested the IOM report. No specific response will be made immediately to the recommendations, other than to note that many of the recommendations and needed improvements in protecting the blood supply have already been made. The Secretary will announce appointment of a task force (chaired by Assistant Secretary for Health Phil Lee) to assess the recommendations that are not already in place, including the issue of compensation for those who were infected during the 1980s. Other issues You should know that Kathleen Gerus, just appointed to the President's HIV/AIDS Advisory Council, is a member of the board of the National Hemophilia Foundation. She is part of a new leadership team installed in response to the problems the report addresses. Also, Frank Young, who was Commissioner of the FDA during much of the period under review, is still working for the Public Health Service, in charge of emergency preparedness. In addition, you should know that Jeff Levi worked on this issue as Washington representative of the National Gay Task Force at the time.

Roy Romer vetoed a bill banning same-sex marriages Monday, saying such unions may deserve legal recognition. ``It is one thing to believe, as I do, that marriage is the union of a man and a woman," Romer, a Democrat, said. ``It is quite another to believe that committed same-sex relationships do not exist and should not be recognized by society. ``We cannot prohibit or ban these relationships, and we shouldn't use our law to attempt to do so," he said. The bill won final approval in the Colorado Legislature earlier this month. The bill passed 33-31 in the House and 20-14 in the Senate, so it is unlikely supporters could get the two-thirds majority needed to override the governor's veto. The bill is similar to legislation in other states introduced in response to a court case in Hawaii that could result in a ruling legalizing gay marriages as early as this year. Since states customarily recognize each other's statutes, such a ruling in Hawaii could force the other 49 states to grant homosexuals in same-sex unions the same financial, legal and social benefits afforded to married heterosexuals. Supporters of the Colorado bill accused Romer of bowing to political pressure. But Romer, a three-term governor who is barred by law from serving another term, called the legislation mean-spirited and unnecessary. ``Let's be honest. Some support this bill because it is a way to single out and condemn the lifestyle of gay and lesbian people," he said. Leslie Reed and Sharon Espinosa, a lesbian couple expecting their first child, said the governor's action was a step in the right direction. "We're in the long run going to be recognized as a family," Espinosa said. Will Perkins, chairman of Colorado For Family Values, condemned the veto. ``The governor is absolutely unaccountable to the electorate," he said. ``He is in the pocket of pro-homosexual interests and is attempting to hold the state hostage." Colorado was boycotted and labeled the "hate state" after approving an anti-gay-rights measure in 1992 that banned local laws protecting gays from bias in employment, housing and public accommodations. The ballot measure, written by Perkins' group, was struck down by state courts and never took effect. The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on the challenge this year. Perkins said his group will consider bringing forward a ballot initiative banning same-sex marriages in Colorado. APNP-03-26-96 0922EST RECORD TYPE: PRESIDENTIAL (ALL-IN-1 MAIL) CREATOR: Patricia E.

If your office is in the West Wing or OEOB, please use the service route under the north portico to the booksellers area. Visitors Office staff will control access and direct you through the Kennedy Garden to the east side of the driveway. East Wing passholders should also use the outside route to the booksellers area.

We will in general not include the regularly scheduled meetings nor internal meetings. HOWEVER, I want to warn everyone: 1. This is an INTERNAL document to the DPC and not to be shared with anyone else verbally or on paper. 2. This is not the complete schedule and does not include many pending appts. and trips. 3. This must NOT be used when you are asked if you know if I am available on a certain date....I am asking that you ALWAYS refer such calls to Pat or better yet, ask the calling party to submit a letter to Pat. I don't want to go overboard on stressing this point but I must ask that you NOT use this calendar to say to people it looks like I can or cannot do a requested event/meeting/speech. Once a scheduling request is received Pat presents it to me to make a determination as to how we handle it; sometimes this means we adjust the current schedule (this is the reason it is dangerous to tell someone I am already booked; they might then decide not to send an invitation that might be a very important one to the administration; we are known to make periodic adjustments to my schedule), sometimes we outright accept, other times we decline. Again, you will get a four week listing today with an updated version each Friday. Any questions about the schedule should be referred to Pat. Let's give it a try; many thanks!

I think it would be an unreasonable task for all concerned -- the Council and the Administration folks -- to try to review and assess every recommendation. Some are very dated (for example, the first report was written to directly influence passage of the Ryan White CARE Act; we certainly don't have to revisit that!), some, as you observed, are not relevant to the executive branch, and some just aren't that important any more. I think it might make sense to focus on the "original" 30 (in whatever order you pick) and then highlight some from "specialty" report -- e.g., housing, substance abuse. Since so many overlap with the Council's recommendations, spending too much time on the Commission's recommendations will diminish the centrality of the council's recommendations to this assessment. As far as answering the claims that we don't need a Council, we just need to address the old commission's recommendations: I don't think the most comprehensive analysis of the commission will ever silence those critics -- they just want to say the Council isn't needed. I bet most of those folks couldn't tell you what was in the Commission reports. So, while we should acknowledge the importance of the Commission, we also should be unembarrassed about moving forward. Too much time on the Commission may seem defensive about what the Council is doing -- and that's not necessary at all; the Council's work can stand on its own right. Let me know what you think. I was not in the office today (Wednesday), but will be the rest of the week and we can go through the old recommendations to pick some out.

He says his life is more varied now, with his roles as family man, businessman, and AIDS activist. Furthermore, he claims that setting an example for younger basketball players is especially important now. Johnson notes that basketball and the players have changed since he retired in 1991, and adds that he recognizes that he too has to adjust. "HHS Awards Supplemental Grants for HIV/AIDS Services" Reuters (03/26/96) The Department of Health and Human Services awarded 41 cities nearly $44 million in supplemental grants for care for low-income AIDS patients last week. The money was granted under the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act of 1990, but reflects only partial-year funding because Congress is still working on the department's 1996 budget. Since 1991, more than $1 billion has been given to cities through the Ryan White CARE Act. "U.S. Court Throws Out AIDS Privacy Award" Reuters (03/26/96) A California appeals court has rejected a $275,000 award won by a former Delta Air Lines sales agent who alleged he was wrongly fired in 1991 because he revealed that he had HIV. The court panel found that Joseph Sullivan's family could not collect the award because California law prohibits compensation for pain and suffering if the victim dies before the ruling is final, and Sullivan died in 1995. Delta held that Sullivan was fired for being unreliable and frequently absent from work. A jury made the award based on the decision that the company had invaded Sullivan's privacy by posting his name on a report on HIV-positive employees. "Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Safe, Immunogenic in HIV-Infected Children" Reuters (03/26/96) A 5-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is as safe as, and maybe more effective than, a licensed 28-valent polysaccharide vaccine for the prevention of invasive pneumococcal infection in children with HIV. Dr. James C. King, Jr. and colleagues at the University of Maryland compared the two vaccines in 30 HIV-infected children and 30 noninfected children. Children in both groups showed greater increases in titers with the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. King says further studies are needed to test repeated doses of the vaccine in immunocompromised children. "Cell Genesys Gene Therapy Promising in Early Trial" Reuters (03/26/96) An experimental HIV therapy, in which T-cells are taken from an HIV-negative donor, genetically altered to target HIV, and infused into an HIV patient, has shown promise in an early trial, announced Robert Walker of the National Institutes of Health at a recent meeting. Volunteers are currently being recruited for a Phase II trial, to be sponsored by Cell Genesys Inc. and Hoechst Marion Roussel and conducted by researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The therapy, which could be used in combination with antiviral drugs, may help restore immune function in AIDS patients. "Paromomycin Effective Against Cryptosporidiosis in AIDS Patients" Reuters (03/26/96) Paromomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, seems to give AIDS patients with cryptosporidiosis relief from diarrhea and stabilize weight loss. A study of 32 patients who completed four weeks of therapy with the drug found that nearly half experienced a decrease in diarrhea and weight gain or at least weight stabilization. Only 9 percent were cured, however. Dr. Timothy P. Flanigan of the Miriam Hospital in Providence, R.I., and colleagues concluded that paromomycin should be considered initial therapy for cryptosporidiosis in AIDS patients until a more effective therapy is available. "Lytic Growth of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (Human Herpesvirus 8) in Culture" Nature Medicine (03/96) Vol. 2, No. 3, P. 342; Renne, Rolf; Zhong, Weidong; Herndier, Brian; et al. HIV is known to be a major risk factor for Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), but the cancer can occur in the absence of the virus. Homosexual men with AIDS are 20 times more likely to develop KS than women and children with the disease, a fact which suggests that a sexually transmitted agent may be involved in the development of KS. A newly identified herpesvirus, KS-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), or human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8), is this suspected agent. The lack of a cell culture system for the virus' growth has hindered research into its role in KS, but Don Ganem of the University of California at San Francisco and colleagues report that they have developed a system for growing the virus. This system will enable detailed study of viral replication, the testing of antiviral drugs, and the development of tests to screen for viral infection. "Curcumin: Clinical Trial Finds No Antiviral Effect" AIDS Treatment News (03/01/96) No. 242, P. 1; James, John S. Curcumin, an ingredient in the curry spice turmeric, was tested in a clinical trial with 40 volunteers and found to have no effect in reducing viral load or increasing CD4 cell counts. The study was conducted by the Community Research Initiative (CRI) of New England, a community-based research organization. Although curcumin has shown anti-HIV activity in cell cultures in laboratory tests, an earlier clinical trial was inconclusive. Jim Hellinger of CRI said that "despite the lack of apparent antiviral or CD4 effects, most participants liked taking curcumin, and felt better about taking it." A blood test for curcumin levels may provide more information about why no antiviral activity was documented. "South Africa's AIDS Play Provokes Controversy" Lancet (03/02/96) Vol. 347, No. 9001, P. 610; Lee, Nick A debate has arisen in South Africa over the Department of Health's funding of a musical about AIDS awareness, called "Sarafina 2." The department has provided $3.45 million for the show, which was written by Mbongeni Ngema. The money was donated by the European Union (EU), which said it had allocated $12 million to AIDS awareness efforts in South Africa, but had not designated money for the play itself, as the Department had claimed. Department officials are now prohibited from talking about the situation with the media, although Manto Tshabalala's parliamentary portfolio committee on health will be investigating the controversy.

Bushman (BUSHMAN_G) TEXT: PRINTER FONT 12_POINT_ROMAN President Clinton Challenges America to Ensure our Children's Educational Future March 27, 1996 Speech to the National Governors' Association Education Summit. Today, President Clinton speaks to the National Governors' Association, in Palisades, New Jersey, about our challenge to improve education for America's children. The President will urge states, communities, businesses, parents, teachers and students to come together to meet this national challenge. A critical challenge that demands action. We must face two basic realities: Some of our public schools are failing and we cannot walk away. If we work together, we can revitalize our schools. President Clinton is doing everything in his power to focus America's attention on this urgent challenge. Real progress. President Clinton has helped America make real progress on meeting this challenge by giving communities more flexibility and demanding more accountability in return. He has: * Enacted Goals 2000, emphasizing standards and accountability; * Worked with businesses and communities to make the School -to -Work program a reality; * Cut regulations at the Department of Education by half, and revised the rest to encourage flexibility and emphasize results. * Helped take guns and drugs out of our schools with the Gun Free Schools Act, the Safe and Drug Free Schools initiative and by supporting random drug testing of student athletes. Five challenges. In today's speech, the President will issue six new challenges to states, communities, businesses, parents, teachers and students to make our schools stronger. 1. Standards for students: A. "No free pass." Challenge every state to develop achievement tests at every level that students must pass to graduate or be promoted. If students aren't ready to move on, we must work with them after school and over the summer, and if necessary, hold them back. B. Every Child Reading by the End of Third Grade. Set a concrete standard for the most basic of skills: reading. Every school district, teacher and parent, must be committed to a ensuring that every child is reading by the end of the third grade, and every parent should read to their child 30 minutes a day. 2. Standards for teachers: A. Change Certification Rules that Bar Many Talented Young People from being Teachers: Support alternative certification procedures with high standards to bring talented people into teaching as long as high standards are met. Governor Clinton reformed certification procedures in Arkansas. We should do it everywhere. B. Reward Excellent Teachers and Find Ways to Dismiss Incompetent Teachers: Challenge teachers to meet high standards for performance and states to reward them when they do. Make it easier and cheaper to remove incompetent or ineffective teachers, while providing more rewards for successful teachers and schools. We shouldn't bash teachers; we should try to find ways to keep the best teachers in the classroom. 3. Standards for our schools: A. Focus on teaching, not administration. Challenge states to cut regulation and overhead, and spend more on the classroom, not on administration. B. Public school choice, charter schools. President Clinton believes that parents should be given the right to choose which public school their children will attend. The President's balanced budget calls for seed money to help start 3,000 charter schools over the next five years. C. Close or fix broken schools. Challenge states to take direct action to shut down or fix schools that don't work. 4. Make schools safe, disciplined and drug free. A. Permit Uniforms and Drug Testing. Support School uniforms and other innovative approaches to increase discipline and reduce violence. In Long Beach, school uniforms have helped reduce school crime 36%. B. Make It Easier for Teachers and Schools to Take Appropriate Disciplinary Action. Children can't learn and teachers can't teach unless there is order in the classroom. More states should follow the lead of Indiana, New York and Maryland in giving teachers and schools the power to remove disruptive students. C. Enforce tough truancy laws. Follow the model of Police Chief Reubin Greenberg in Charleston, South Carolina. D. Community Schools as Safe Havens. Support Crime Trust funding that encourages community schools to stay open for longer hours -- at the time when students need a safe haven and when most juvenile crime is committed. We must provide young people a safe place to go to keep off the streets, particularly during the peak hours of juvenile crime -- between 3:00 -6:00 p.m. 5. Accept technology literacy challenge for all students. A. Ensure that Technology Literacy Challenge is Met for Every Schools and Every Student: States and local communities must ensure that students do not become divided by access to technology. States should accept the President's $2 billion Technology Literacy Challenge to help ensure that all students are technologically literate and all schools can meet the four pillars of the technology literacy challenge: classrooms wired to the information superhighway; computers in every school and classroom; technology -trained teachers, and engaging learning software that challenges students. B. Ensure Teachers Can Teach Their Students to Become Technologically Literate: Work with teacher unions, colleges and corporate America to ensure that every new teacher can use and teach technology.

We have reserved a meeting room at the same hotel as the Advisory Council meeting for Wednesday so that there will be continuity, etc. SSS will be providing the support. Mary, I am sure you have some people in mind for this as well. I have tried to identify mostly government people but have a few ideas for outside folks as well. It would be nice to have more than the usual advocacy groups that are based in Washington, but in fact the Council has not formally heard from them and we will not be able to pay for outside folks to come to town. So here's my first cut: 1. Background on the HIV epidemic with a focus on service implications. John Ward from CDC is their designee for the basic epidemiology and trends. I would suggest then passing the baton over to HRSA with Ciro Sumaya (accompanied by Joe O'Neill) giving some perspectives on the impact of this epidemiology on the demand for services and the programs HRSA runs. 2. Defining Services I think Joe O'Neill (accompanied by an outside clinician as well) could do a good job of defining the continuum of care and services that people living with HIV need. (Joe suggested Barbara Arranja -- and offered that HRSA could pay her travel since she is a member of the HAAC.) Barbara Garcia, the AIDS coordinator at SAMHSA could do mental health and substance abuse services. I would look to her to identify a mental health advocate; Ellen Weber from the Legal Action Center would be great for substance abuse. On social services needs, Buck Buckingham from HRSA plus someone representing a CBO. 3. Access to services A. Ryan White CARE Act -- Anita Eichler and Deborah Parham (and who from Title IV?) -- could give an overview of the CARE Act programs with representatives from outside groups talking about their needs. (See below.) B. Organization of care, including managed care initiatives: Rachel Block from HCFA, Marilyn Gaston from HRSA, Ruth Finkelstein from New York, Marla Gold from Philadelphia. C. Financing (Medicaid, Medicare): Rachel Block of HCFA for an overview (Note: it might make sense to switch B and C, since so much of the managed care discussion requires an understanding of Medicaid.) [Given all we have gone through with the AETCs how about: D. Professional education: Enrique Fernandez from HRSA, and some folks in the field doing this work.] Query: I think the day could be more efficiently done if we don't try to have respondents to each of these government programs -- but rather invite a panel of four or five people from outside to respond to the overall government response in providing access to services. Since they all need to fit together as one, this would make sense. The groups I would choose from are: AIDS Action, NAPWA, CARE Coalition, AIDS Policy Center, Pediatric AIDS Foundation, National Alliance of State AIDS Directors. We should add some real people. 4. Housing issues I would look to Fred Karnas, the AIDS coordinator at HUD and the coalition of housing advocates run out of AIDS Action. So, this might break out into the following panels: 1. Overview: epidemiology and general implications for services 2. Defining Services 3. AIDS specific government programs providing services: Ryan White 4. Broader government programs supporting care: Medicaid plus managed care issues 5. Professional education 6. Response from the community 7. Housing This would be a full day. We may want to consolidate some of this. In any case, this is my first cut Mary, give me a call so we can talk this through some more.

I spoke with Nan Hunter at HHS general counsel -- she will look into the matter as soon as she receives a copy of a formal comment on the proposed guidance -- which AIDS Action will be doing shortly.

The 1,750-member Central Conference of American Rabbis is the first major group of Jewish leaders to formally oppose government bans on same-sex marriages. "As Jews, and specifically in the Reform movement, we've always expressed concern for those we feel aren't treated fairly," said Rabbi Robert Klensin of Arnold, Md., before an overwhelming voice vote. Most of the comments during the vigorous debate centered on an amendment specifying that the group was not deciding the controversial issue of rabbis officiating over single-sex ceremonies. "You cannot call upon the state to allow these marriages and then refuse to perform the marriage," said Rabbi Eric B. Wisnia of Princeton Junction, N.J. But Rabbi Simeon J. Maslin, the conference president, said the resolution ``is a matter of civil rights. It is certainly not connected to any question of rabbinic officiation." Maslin said the organization expects to vote on single-sex marriage officiation at next year's meeting in Denver. CCAR voted six years ago to accept gay and lesbian rabbis into its ranks.

The 1994 total was 938. AIDS was the leading cause of death among Hispanics in the state that year. "Health-Insurance Measure Is Running Into Problems" Wall Street Journal (03/28/96) P. A4 The chances of a health-insurance reform bill, aiming to restrict insurance companies' ability to refuse coverage to people with pre-existing conditions and guarantee continued coverage to those who lose or change jobs, may be complicated by amendments from Senate Republicans. The bill's sponsors, Sens. Nancy Kassebaum (R-Kan.) and Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), urged lawmakers not to amend the legislation. Amendments may be proposed to raise the health-insurance tax deduction for the self-employed and to add provisions for medical savings accounts and medical-malpractice awards. "Zimbabwe's AIDS Orphans to Reach 600,000 by 2000" Xinhua News Service (03/28/96) Zimbabwe will have more than 600,000 orphans due to AIDS by the year 2000, Margaret Mehlomakulu, deputy director of the National AIDS Coordinating Program, said at a workshop Wednesday. She said that AIDS would be a heavy burden on the government and the community as they would be forced to stretch available resources to take care of the orphans. Mehlomakulu called for health officials to work with the community to help prevent young people from becoming HIV-infected. An estimated I million Zimbabweans, of a total 10.5 million, have the virus. "Death Rates High Among New York Welfare Recipients--Study" Reuters (03/27/96) Rates of AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and death are much higher among New York City welfare recipients and applicants who have been abusing alcohol, drugs, or both, an eight-year survey has found. The research, led by Lloyd Friedman of the Yale University School of Medicine, found that between 1984 and 1992, 5.5 percent of the 858 people studied developed TB, 10 percent had AIDS, and 21 percent died. All 858 had a history of abusing drugs, alcohol, or both. The TB rate for these individuals, the majority of whom are single black men, is nearly 15 times the usual rate in New York City, while the AIDS rate is 10 times the average, and the death rate is five times the usual. Ninety-three percent of the participants agreed to undergo a two-part medical exam, which the researchers hoped would result in treatment for people at high risk for AIDS or TB. "Influenza Immunization in HIV-Positive Children Does Not Enhance HIV Replication" Reuters (03/27/96) Although some researchers have suggested that influenza vaccination may activate T-cells and enhance HIV replication, new research has revealed only short-term increases in viral load in children following immunization. Octavio Ramillo and colleagues at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas saw the increased HIV RNA in five of 16 children, and said the viral load returned to baseline in four of those five children within eight weeks. The findings add to the evidence that the viral burden increases after immunization more often in HIV-positive adults than in children. "Zimbabwe's Maternal Mortality Deaths Rising" PANA News Service (03/27/96) The incidence of maternal mortality has increased in Zimbabwe as the number of HIV-infected pregnant women has risen, a local gynecologist reported Wednesday. Kudakwashe Kangwende said the infant mortality rate has been made worse by pre-natal mortality associated with HIV infection and AIDS among pregnant women. Kangwende said that frequent and unwarranted pregnancies among women with AIDS contribute to the increasing maternal mortality rate, and suggested that women with AIDS should be allowed to have abortions. He also said the AIDS pandemic was causing the spread of other diseases uncommon in Zimbabwe, including genital herpes and cervical cancer. "Physicians' Experience with the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome as a Factor in Patients' Survival" New England Journal of Medicine (03/14/96) Vol. 334, No. 11, P. 701; Kitahata, Mari M.; Koepsell, Thomas D.; Deyo, Richard A.; et al. Mari Kitahata and colleagues examined the link between physicians' experience with AIDS and the survival of their AIDS patients. They studied the cases of 403 men enrolled in a health maintenance organization who were diagnosed with AIDS between 1984 and mid-1994. The patients' 125 primary care physicians were separated into three levels of AIDS experience, based on experience with AIDS during residency training and the cumulative number of patients with AIDS they had treated in practice. The authors concluded that patients cared for by doctors with the most experience had a 31 percent lower risk of death than patients cared for by physicians with the least experience. Among the 224 patients diagnosed with AIDS between 1989 and 1994, the risk of death was 43 percent lower for patients of the most experienced doctors than for patients of the least experienced. The study suggests that physicians who treat AIDS patients go through a similar learning period and begin to improve their management skills early in their experience. The authors found that certain methods of treatment and a tendency to follow HIV-infected patients more closely were associated with higher levels of physicians' experience and longer patient survival. "Rogue Science or Reality?" Insight (03/11/96) Vol. 12, No. 10, P. 16; Goode, Stephen Peter Duesberg, biology professor at the University of California at Berkeley, member of the National Academy of Sciences, and federal grant recipient, is criticized by many scientists because he opposes the accepted belief that HIV causes AIDS. Duesberg's book "Inventing the AIDS Virus" outlines his arguments and challenges his colleagues to answer them. He says the HIV-AIDS theory was announced hastily by federal health officials in 1984 because groups like the National Institutes of Health were under intense pressure to come up with an answer to the growing AIDS epidemic. No one questioned the connection later, he says, because billions in federal funding was being spent on confirming it. Furthermore, Duesberg criticizes AIDS researchers for abandoning long-held principles about viruses. In other viral infections, antibodies are a sign of the body's defense, but with HIV, antibodies are looked at as a sign that the virus is still potent. AIDS researcher Robert Gallo has said that because AIDS was completely new, redefining the rules was necessary. Other researchers argue that HIV's ability to mutate rapidly makes it a special case. Duesberg says that lifestyle factors--including drug use, repeated cases of sexually transmitted diseases, and malnutrition--are to blame for AIDS. Duesberg is not alone in his beliefs--the 100-member Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV-AIDS Hypothesis supports him. "Principals in HIV Blood Scandal Should be Summoned by Diet" Nikkei Weekly (03/11/96) Vol. 34, No. 1713, P. 6 In an editorial in the Nikkei Weekly, the authors note the Diet's lack of involvement in Japan's tainted blood scandal, which caused some 1,800 Japanese hemophiliacs to be infected with HIV. An investigation by the Ministry of Health and Welfare revealed that contaminated blood products were distributed even though members of government and industry knew of the HIV threat. However, the investigation's interim report fails to answer whether or not the ministry proposed emergency imports of safe, heat-treated blood products. The editors question the actions of Takeshi Abe, who headed the AIDS task force, as well as those of his associate, Mutsumi Kazama, and the pharmaceutical companies who continued to ship the untreated products even after the threat of contamination was known. The editors claim that the ministry investigation is not likely to provide satisfactory answers and that the participants should testify before the Diet.

ID; Vigoda, Arlene A new survey of more than 1,500 adults found that Americans think schools should teach preteens about AIDS and that television stations should advertise condoms. The survey, released by the Kaiser Family Foundation, revealed that Americans are more knowledgeable about AIDS and HIV than other issues, although they still have misconceptions. For example, more than half of the respondents believe that donating blood is risky. Twelve percent believe that AIDS is God's punishment for homosexual behavior, and 18 percent believe there is "some truth" to reports that HIV was produced in a germ-warfare laboratory. "New Magic Act Means Handling Diverse Tasks" USA Today (03/27/96) P. 1C; Johnson, Earvin Magic Johnson, who has HIV and recently returned to professional basketball, reports in USA Today that he is no longer afraid of the virus, that his immune system is strong, and that being a husband and father has improved his life. He says his life is more varied now, with his roles as family man, businessman, and AIDS activist. Furthermore, he claims that setting an example for younger basketball players is especially important now. Johnson notes that basketball and the players have changed since he retired in 1991, and adds that he recognizes that he too has to adjust. "HHS Awards Supplemental Grants for HIV/AIDS Services" Reuters (03/26/96) The Department of Health and Human Services awarded 41 cities nearly $44 million in supplemental grants for care for low-income AIDS patients last week. The money was granted under the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act of 1990, but reflects only partial-year funding because Congress is still working on the department's 1996 budget. Since 1991, more than $1 billion has been given to cities through the Ryan White CARE Act. "U.S. Court Throws Out AIDS Privacy Award" Reuters (03/26/96) A California appeals court has rejected a $275,000 award won by a former Delta Air Lines sales agent who alleged he was wrongly fired in 1991 because he revealed that he had HIV. The court panel found that Joseph Sullivan's family could not collect the award because California law prohibits compensation for pain and suffering if the victim dies before the ruling is final, and Sullivan died in 1995. Delta held that Sullivan was fired for being unreliable and frequently absent from work. A jury made the award based on the decision that the company had invaded Sullivan's privacy by posting his name on a report on HIV-positive employees. "Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Safe, Immunogenic in HIV-Infected Children" Reuters (03/26/96) A 5-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is as safe as, and maybe more effective than, a licensed 28-valent polysaccharide vaccine for the prevention of invasive pneumococcal infection in children with HIV. Dr. James C. King, Jr. and colleagues at the University of Maryland compared the two vaccines in 30 HIV-infected children and 30 noninfected children. Children in both groups showed greater increases in titers with the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. King says further studies are needed to test repeated doses of the vaccine in immunocompromised children. "Cell Genesys Gene Therapy Promising in Early Trial" Reuters (03/26/96) An experimental HIV therapy, in which T-cells are taken from an HIV-negative donor, genetically altered to target HIV, and infused into an HIV patient, has shown promise in an early trial, announced Robert Walker of the National Institutes of Health at a recent meeting. Volunteers are currently being recruited for a Phase II trial, to be sponsored by Cell Genesys Inc. and Hoechst Marion Roussel and conducted by researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The therapy, which could be used in combination with antiviral drugs, may help restore immune function in AIDS patients. "Paromomycin Effective Against Cryptosporidiosis in AIDS Patients" Reuters (03/26/96) Paromomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, seems to give AIDS patients with cryptosporidiosis relief from diarrhea and stabilize weight loss. A study of 32 patients who completed four weeks of therapy with the drug found that nearly half experienced a decrease in diarrhea and weight gain or at least weight stabilization. Only 9 percent were cured, however. Dr. Timothy P. Flanigan of the Miriam Hospital in Providence, R.I., and colleagues concluded that paromomycin should be considered initial therapy for cryptosporidiosis in AIDS patients until a more effective therapy is available. "Lytic Growth of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (Human Herpesvirus 8) in Culture" Nature Medicine (03/96) Vol. 2, No. 3, P. 342; Renne, Rolf; Zhong, Weidong; Herndier, Brian; et al. HIV is known to be a major risk factor for Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), but the cancer can occur in the absence of the virus. Homosexual men with AIDS are 20 times more likely to develop KS than women and children with the disease, a fact which suggests that a sexually transmitted agent may be involved in the development of KS. A newly identified herpesvirus, KS-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), or human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8), is this suspected agent. The lack of a cell culture system for the virus' growth has hindered research into its role in KS, but Don Ganem of the University of California at San Francisco and colleagues report that they have developed a system for growing the virus. This system will enable detailed study of viral replication, the testing of antiviral drugs, and the development of tests to screen for viral infection. "Curcumin: Clinical Trial Finds No Antiviral Effect" AIDS Treatment News (03/01/96) No. 242, P. 1; James, John S. Curcumin, an ingredient in the curry spice turmeric, was tested in a clinical trial with 40 volunteers and found to have no effect in reducing viral load or increasing CD4 cell counts. The study was conducted by the Community Research Initiative (CRI) of New England, a community-based research organization. Although curcumin has shown anti-HIV activity in cell cultures in laboratory tests, an earlier clinical trial was inconclusive. Jim Hellinger of CRI said that "despite the lack of apparent antiviral or CD4 effects, most participants liked taking curcumin, and felt better about taking it." A blood test for curcumin levels may provide more information about why no antiviral activity was documented. "South Africa's AIDS Play Provokes Controversy" Lancet (03/02/96) Vol. 347, No. 9001, P. 610; Lee, Nick A debate has arisen in South Africa over the Department of Health's funding of a musical about AIDS awareness, called "Sarafina 2." The department has provided $3.45 million for the show, which was written by Mbongeni Ngema. The money was donated by the European Union (EU), which said it had allocated $12 million to AIDS awareness efforts in South Africa, but had not designated money for the play itself, as the Department had claimed. Department officials are now prohibited from talking about the situation with the media, although Manto Tshabalala's parliamentary portfolio committee on health will be investigating the controversy.

Gonsalves\\) READ:NOT READ TEXT: Gregg-- Even though I am not one of the addressees of your memo regarding the discussion of OAR in conference yesterday, I feel compelled personally to respond to you -- since I have been unable to reach you by phone. First, perhaps we have not been doing as a good a job as we could at our end of communicating all that the Administration is doing on behalf of OAR -- but it would have been nice if you had called here before writing (and widely disseminating) memos that accuse us of having been insufficiently supportive of the OAR in this latest round of negotiations. In fact, the Pelosi language has been supported in each round of negotiations, at various levels of Administration interaction with the appropriations committee leadership. Second, if Mr. Porter said that Drs. Varmus and Paul were fully satisfied with the resolution of the FY 1996 situation, we both know this is inaccurate. Both Dr. Varmus and Dr. Paul made clear that they strongly support -- and need -- the consolidated appropriation. But I am sure they also made clear that the funds being spent in the current fiscal year are being spent according to the OAR plan -- something we all know to be true and support. Thus, I do not think any of us can answer your question -- that is written, frankly, more as an accusation than an inquiry -- as to how the Administration's views can be so easily misrepresented. Third, it sometimes seems to me that the only measure of adequate support on this issue is success. We get no credit for our advocacy and our support -- if Mr. Porter does not change his position, then somehow we are to blame. I don't think I need to remind you of the politics of this Congress for you to recognize that this is not a fair standard. Fourth, the Administration continues to support -- in this round of negotiations, in the FY 1997 budget, in the reauthorization process, and in our response to the Levine Report -- the full authorities of the OAR. Gregg, what has happened in this budget cycle is certainly an indication of how hard a fight we have in front of us. I think we have a much greater chance to succeed in preserving the OAR's authority if we work together and don't have to spend lots of time questioning the depth of this Administration's support. I think the record shows that throughout the budget fight this year, the President and everyone in the Administration has gone to the well again and again for the OAR and for all AIDS programs.

It seems to be based on the fact that Title II is more restrictive about housing, while Title I has no definition of housing services -- and jumps to the conclusion that this narrower definition should apply to Title I. Title I has always had a broader mandate. In any case, here's the plan. I spoke with Nan Hunter at HHS general counsel -- she will look into the matter as soon as she receives a copy of a formal comment on the proposed guidance -- which AIDS Action will be doing shortly. That will give an opportunity for higher level review and a possible reinterpretation.
