       Thank you  
        for visiting the home page for the White House Office of National AIDS  
        Policy! We hope that this web site provides you with useful information  
        on efforts by the Clinton/Gore administration to address the national  
        and international AIDS pandemic.    
        ONAP  
        was created by President  
        Clinton and Vice President  
        Gore to provide broad policy guidance and leadership on the Federal  
        government's response to the AIDS epidemic.  
      We work  
        closely with community-based and national organizations to discuss the  
        Federal response to the AIDS epidemic, and to reflect their concerns in  
        the development of Administration policies.  
      Among its  
        responsibilities, ONAP works closely with the Presidential Advisory Council  
        on HIV/AIDS, which provides essential input into our efforts. ONAP also  
        created and facilitates an Interdepartmental Task Force on HIV/AIDS. This  
        Task Force serves to foster communication and coordination among those  
        Federal agencies involved in HIV/AIDS policy and initiatives.  
      Thank you  
        for your efforts to care for those living with HIV and AIDS, to stop the  
        spread of this terrible disease, and to support AIDS-related research.  
        Only by working together will we be able to, one day, have a day without  
        AIDS.  
      Sandra  
        Thurman  
        Director
