Meeting is called to
order: You're here from multiple agencies to help advise the
President on the specific approach the US should take to help cope with
AIDS in Africa. What are the concerns? The
key issues? Alternatives?
By the end of this session, I want recommendations to take to
the President.
Before you begin, I want to make it very clear that the
President changed his policy in 2003.
And since the war with
Iraq in 2003, he has been willing to support Senator
Hyde's ABC program (abstinence,
being faithful, condoms). The right wing wants more attention on the
first two.
The main thrust of this
Administration has been and will be to cut taxes.
So keep that in mind. He
still prefers to utilize free market options that rely on the private
sector; he's proposed privatizing health services in Africa.
Don't tell him to promote socialized medicine in Africa under their respective
governments.
