  • Title: AIDS funding bills now before House-Senate conferees.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1997 Oct 03; 12(18):14-5. PubMed ID: 11364725.
    Abstract:
    The U.S. House and Senate are working to meet a September 30, 1997 deadline for completion of the Labor/Health and Human Services appropriations bill. The bill funds key AIDS programs such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Ryan White CARE Act. The House and Senate disagree on the level of funding for the Ryan White Care Act. Both the House and Senate agreed to spend more than the $1,036 billion proposed by President Clinton for AIDS drug assistance. The House approved $622 million for the CDC prevention program and the Senate approved $646.8. The Senate approved $217 million for AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAP) spending. This year's bill contains one key amendment: a ban on Federal funding for needle-exchange programs. A Senate conference committee will determine whether or not the amendment remains. Neither the House nor Senate offered to increase funding for drug rehabilitation programs, however, each agreed to boost the budget for the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS Program (HOPWA).
