functions?
Answer: I had two functions. I was on the Technical
Advisory Board from June 1989 and was on the ASAP Speaker's
Bureau from November 1988. I did not know I was on the Executive
Committee. The Annual Report makes ASAP seem more organized than
it is. I resigned from ASAP on 11 October 1992. The Technical
Advisory Committee met twice a year and advised ASAP on the AIDS
epidemic. I saw Mr. Smith once or twice a month from the late
1980's until early 1991. Mr. Smith would ask my opinion on how
to control the AIDS epidemic. I talked at the state, national
and international level. Once I attended an Investment Seminar
