The release of this money is a landmark achievement that builds on our
nation's historic efforts to fight global AIDS by delivering the hope of
modern medicine to those who need it most around the world.
This investment complements the unmatched resources we are providing the
Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and
Malaria, while demonstrating once again that no government in any nation has
ever done more to end the suffering caused
by this disease than the United States under President Bush.
