Dear Senator Kennedy:
I am writing to urge your support of the specific recommendations
submitted by the Treatment Action Group (TAG) for incorporation
into the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reauthorization bill which
will be reintroduced in Congress on January 21.
These recommendations outline restructuring and allocation of
resources for AIDS research, which, if implemented, will greatly
enhance the quality of AIDS research. The Public Policy Committee of
AmnFAR and other interested organizations have also endorsed these
recommendations.
I urge your full support of these changes recommended by TAG in
the NIH Reauthorization Bill (S.I).
Sincerely,
Susan Buc binder, M.D.
