On the recordMay 15, 1997
We are very pleased with the success of these new drugs, and I can assure the gentlewoman that the AIDS Drug Assistance Program, which is part of the Ryan White program, has broad bipartisan support. As an indication of this support, I would note that the Congress provided $239 million, or more than a 30 percent increase, for all Ryan White activities in 1997. For the ADAP program specifically we provided a $115 million increase. The gentlewoman from California was instrumental in helping secure these increases.
