Mr. Chairman, it is our understanding that the Army is interested in only focusing research on finding a vaccine for HIV-AIDS. However, with the 10- to 20-year validation period for a suitable vaccine, the importance of maintaining a vigorous research treatment program for those military personnel who are already infected is obvious. I would ask the chairman of the committee, is it his intention that the $25 million provided for DOD AIDS research in the bill is to continue the natural history cohort and the domestic clinical studies, including the chemotherapeutic program and the immune reconstitution program?
