  • Title: Congress has yet to act on key programs; HOPWA may take hit.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1999 Aug 20; 14(15):2. PubMed ID: 11366616.
    Abstract:
    The U.S. Congress went on recess without passing key HIV spending programs. Committees in both the House and the Senate delayed action on the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations bill for fiscal 2000 until after the break. This bill covers 90 percent of discretionary HIV spending by the Federal government, including $1.4 billion for the Ryan White CARE Act and $1.8 billion for AIDS research at the National Institutes of Health. A $10 million spending cut for the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS program was proposed. In addition, the House voted to prohibit the District of Columbia from spending any money to operate needle exchange programs. President Clinton has proposed $175.4 million in spending increases for discretionary HIV programs for the next fiscal year, which would be an increase of 3.2 percent over the current year.
