On the recordJuly 25, 2000
I urge my colleagues obviously to support this bill, H.R. 4807, unanimously. What the bill does is it reauthorizes and enhances care and treatment programs vital to the health and survival of Americans with HIV and AIDS. HIV/AIDS is not a disease that discriminates. It touches all. In fact, my State of Maryland is now known as one of the top ten states and territories reporting the highest number of AIDS cases. This is in part due to the pandemic growth of HIV and AIDS in rural areas and how AIDS is disproportionately affecting women, youth and communities of color. This is a good bill. It has strong bipartisan support. Our States need this bill to be passed. Women need it, our youth need it; yes, all Americans need it. I urge strong support of this measure.

I don't need to introduce this gentleman. You all know him. But I do want to say that he does exemplify what Ray LaHood has said about bipartisanship and drinking the waters of central Illinois. The bipartisan spirit in which Bob Michel is…
