Helms' name on an AIDS relief bill? Shame on Dole
The U.S. Senate passed the HIV/AIDS relief bill last week, allotting $48 billion over five years toward fighting that disease, as well as malaria and tuberculosis, worldwide. It is a program that President Bush has pushed for years, wangling $15 billion out of Congress five years ago. So this measure, called the Tom Lantos and Henry J. Hyde United States Global Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Reauthorization Act, is triple that amount. Bush will have to take some deserved hits for his hawkish foreign policy in the Middle East and for his seemingly blind-eye's view of the U.S. economy, but no one can fault him for his focus on helping AIDS sufferers worldwide find relief. So, had North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole .suggested adding Bush's name to the bill, no one would have argued.
