White House AIDS Czar
Applauds FY2000 Budget Increases

Washington, DC - Sandra Thurman, Director of the White House Office of National AIDS Policy, applauded the Administration’s leadership on HIV/AIDS as reflected in its Fiscal Year 2000 budget proposal to Congress. "Once again, President Clinton and Vice President Gore have demonstrated their commitment to ending this epidemic. There are substantial increases in AIDS-specific programs--over $165 million--as well as several special initiatives that will be critical to addressing the ongoing needs of those living with HIV/AIDS," said Thurman. "These include support for the Jeffords-Kennedy Work Incentives Improvement Act, Patients’ Bill of Rights, increased Medicaid coverage for immigrants, and support for long-term care. As there are more and more Americans living with HIV and AIDS, it is vital that our response include those programs that benefit the broader disability community including people with HIV/AIDS."

"Most importantly, this Administration will continue its efforts to address HIV/AIDS in racial and ethnic minorities. Secretary Shalala’s budget at HHS continues emergency funding for these efforts, announced by the President and the Secretary this past October," said Thurman.

Included in the budget proposal released today are the following:

The President’s budget proposal also includes new initiatives that will provide substantial benefit to people living with HIV/AIDS, including:
