                               RESOLUTION


 
     Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that any 
 reauthorization of the Ryan White CARE Act of 1990 should not impose 
 catastrophic losses in funding for States with the highest prevalence 
                  of HIV/AIDS, and for other purposes.

Whereas full Federal funding should be authorized and appropriated to meet the 
        needs of all persons living with AIDS and those persons living with HIV 
        to ensure full access to a continuum of care;
Whereas good Federal fiscal principles and policies should not create 
        disincentives for States to contribute their own resources to maintain 
        the health, safety, and welfare of their populations; and
Whereas States with the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS should not incur serious 
        losses in funding in any reauthorization of the Ryan White CARE Act of 
        1990: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That it is the sense of the House of Representatives 
that--
            (1) full Federal funding should be authorized and 
        appropriated for all States to continue the battle against the 
        HIV/AIDS epidemic; and
            (2) any reauthorization of the Ryan White CARE Act of 1990 
        should not impose catastrophic losses in funding for States 
        with the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS.
