                           Amendment No. 3190

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, Senator Jeffords has an amendment at the 
desk for himself and others.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       The Senator from Virginia (Mr. Warner), for Mr. Jeffords, 
     Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Frist, proposes an amendment numbered 
     3190.

  (The text of the amendment is printed in today's Record under 
``Amendments Submitted.'')

[[Page S4594]]

  Mr. JEFFORDS. Mr. President, it gives me great pleasure today that 
the Senate is considering the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources 
and Emergency Act Amendments of 2000, a measure that will reauthorize a 
national program providing primary health care services to people 
living with HIV and AIDS. I especially want to commend Senators Hatch 
and Kennedy for the leadership they have provided since the 
inauguration of the legislation establishing the Ryan White programs 
over a decade ago. I also want to commend Senator Frist whose medical 
expertise played a critical role in key provisions of the bill and 
continues to be an invaluable resource to our efforts on the range of 
health issues that come before the Senate. I want to recognize Senator 
Dodd for his unwavering support for this legislation and people living 
with HIV and AIDS. Finally, I want to acknowledge Senator Enzi's 
recognition of the growing burden that AIDS and HIV have placed on 
rural communities throughout the country and the need to address those 
gaps in services.
  Since its inception in 1990, the Ryan White program has enjoyed broad 
bipartisan support. During the last reauthorization of the Ryan White 
CARE Act in 1996, the measure garnered a vote of 97 to 3 on its final 
passage. As evidence that strong bipartisan support continues, I am 
happy to report that last month this reauthorization bill was passed 
unanimously out of committee. The bipartisan support for this important 
legislation underlines the critical need for the assistance this Act 
provides across the nation.
  With this reauthorization, we mark the ten years through which the 
Ryan White CARE Act has provided needed health care and support 
services to HIV positive people around the country. Titles I and II 
have provided much needed relief to cities and states hardest hit by 
this disease, while Titles III and IV have had a direct role in 
providing healthcare services to underserved communities. Ryan White 
program dollars provide the foundation of care so necessary in fighting 
this epidemic and have allowed States and communities around the 
country to successfully address the needs of people affected by HIV 
disease.
  In a recently released report, the General Accounting Office found 
that CARE Act funds are reaching the infected groups that have 
typically been underserved, including the poor, the uninsured, women, 
and ethnic minorities. In fact, these groups form a majority of CARE 
Act clients and are being served by the CARE Act in higher proportions 
than their representation in the AIDS population. The GAO also found 
that CARE Act funds support a wide array of primary care and support 
services, including the provision of powerful therapeutic regimens for 
people with HIV/AIDS that have dramatically reduced AIDS diagnoses and 
deaths.
  Much has occurred to change the course of the AIDS epidemic since the 
last reauthorization. During the last reauthorization, Congressman 
Coburn and our colleague, Senator Frist, focused our attention on the 
needs of women living with HIV/AIDS and the problems associated with 
perinatal transmission of HIV. Since then, the CARE Act has helped to 
dramatically reduce mother-to-child transmission through more effective 
outreach, counseling, and voluntary testing of mothers at risk for HIV 
infection. Between 1993 and 1998, perinatal-acquired AIDS cases 
declined 74% in the U.S. In this bill, I have continued to support 
efforts to reach women in need of care for their HIV disease and have 
included provisions to ensure that women, infants and children receive 
resources in accordance with the prevalence of the infection among 
them.
  Another key success has been the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. This 
program has provided people with HIV and AIDS access to newly 
developed, highly effective therapeutics. Because of these drugs, 
people are maintaining their health and living longer. The AIDS death 
rate and the number of new AIDS cases have been dramatically reduced. 
From 1996 to 1998, deaths from AIDS dropped 54% while new AIDS cases 
have been reduced by 27%. However, these treatments are very expensive, 
do not provide a cure, and do not work for everyone.
  AIDS, HIV, the people it infects and families that it has affected 
are not in the news today as often as they have been in the past. But 
for too many of us, this lack of bad news has created a false sense of 
complacency. While the rate of decline in new AIDS cases and deaths is 
leveling off, HIV infection rates continue to rise in many areas; 
becoming increasingly prevalent in rural and underserved urban areas; 
and also among women, youth, and minority communities. Local and state 
healthcare systems face an increasing burden of disease, despite our 
success in treating and caring for people living with HIV and AIDS. 
Unfortunately, rural and underserved urban areas are often unable to 
address the complex medical and support services needs of people with 
HIV infection. Thus, Ryan White programs remain as vital to the public 
health of this nation as it was in 1990 and in 1996. As the AIDS 
epidemic reaches into rural areas and into underserved urban 
communities across the country, this legislation will allow us to adapt 
our care systems to meet the most urgent needs in the communities 
hardest hit by the epidemic.
  The bill being considered today was developed on a bipartisan basis, 
working with other Committee Members, community stakeholders and 
elected officials at the state and local levels from whom we sought 
input to ensure that we addressed the most important problems facing 
communities of people with HIV infection. I held a hearing in March 
before the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions to learn 
whether the program has been successful and whether it needed to be 
changed. We received testimony from Ryan White's mother, Jeanne White, 
from Surgeon General David Satcher, from a person living with AIDS, as 
well as state and local officials familiar with the importance of this 
program. I especially want to commend Dr. Chris Grace of Vermont who 
testified as to the particular challenges of providing care to people 
living with HIV/AIDS in rural, and sometimes remote, parts of the 
country. It was clear from our witnesses' statements that, despite the 
successes, challenges remain.
  To address these challenges, we have developed a bill that will 
improve access to care in underserved urban and rural areas. My bill 
will double the minimum base funding available to states through the 
CARE Act to assist them in developing systems of care for people 
struggling with HIV and AIDS. The bill also includes a new supplemental 
state grant to target assistance to small and mid-sized metropolitan 
areas to help them address the increasing number of people with HIV/
AIDS living outside of urban areas that receive assistance under Title 
I of the Act. Rural and underserved areas receive a preference for 
planning, early intervention, and capacity development grants under 
title III. In order to assist states in expanding access to appropriate 
HIV/AIDS therapeutics to low-income people with HIV/AIDS, a 
supplemental grant has been added to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program.
  The bill remains primarily a system of grants to State and local 
jurisdictions, thereby ensuring that grantees can respond to local 
needs. States, EMAs, and the affected communities will still decide how 
to best prioritize and address the healthcare needs of their HIV-
positive citizens. This bill reinforces the ability of States and EMAs 
to identify and meet local needs.
  Finally, in recognition of the changing nature of the epidemic, I 
have asked the Institute of Medicine to complete a study of the 
financing and delivery of primary care and support services for low 
income, uninsured, and under-insured individuals with HIV disease, 
within 21 months after the enactment of this Act. Changes in HIV 
surveillance and case reporting, and the effects of these changes on 
program funding, will be included in this study. The recommendations 
from this study will help Congress and the Secretary of Health and 
Human Services to ensure the most effective and efficient use of 
Federal funds for HIV and AIDS care and support.
  I intend to see this bill become law this year so that the people 
struggling to overcome the challenges of HIV and AIDS continue to 
benefit from high quality medical care and access to lifesaving drugs. 
We have made incredible progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS and I 
want to be sure that every person in America in need of assistance 
benefits from our tremendous advances.

[[Page S4595]]

  Many groups and individuals have contributed significantly to 
crafting this bill, but I want to acknowledge those at the Health 
Resources and Services Administration, especially Dr. Joseph O'Neill, 
Associate Administrator of the HIV/AIDS bureau; John Palenicek, 
Director of the Office of Policy and Program Development; Doug Morgan, 
Director of the Division of Service Systems; and Howard Lerner, 
Principal Adviser for Telehealth and International Collaboration, HIV/
AIDS. All of the groups united under the umbrella of the National 
Organizations Responding to AIDS (NORA) deserve recognition. 
Representing a diverse community of people with AIDS, CARE Act service 
providers, and administrative agencies, NORA clearly and effectively 
communicated to Congress the needs and priorities of their 
constituents.
  I also want to thank several staff members who have worked long and 
hard to craft this bill and to address the concerns and needs of the 
affected communities. Sean Donohue and William Oscar Fleming have 
guided this effort from the beginning, building consensus across the 
many policy issues, resulting in a bill that meets the pressing needs 
of people with HIV and AIDS and enjoys broad bipartisan support. 
Stephanie Robinson and Idalia Sanchez, for Senator Kennedy, were key to 
reaching agreement on this bill and have provided invaluable assistance 
and support throughout the development of this legislation. I would 
also like to recognize Dave Larson and Mary Sumpter Johnson, of Senator 
Frist's office, for their support for the needs of rural and 
underserved communities throughout the nation. Similarly, Jeannie 
Ireland with Senator Dodd's office, Helen Rhee, working for Senator 
DeWine, Libby Rolfe, for Mr. Sessions, and Raissa Geary and Mary Jordan 
in Senator Enzi's office, provided valuable input. Without the efforts 
of these staff members, we would not have such a strong, well-balanced, 
and targeted reauthorization bill before us today.
  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the amendment 
be agreed to, the committee substitute be agreed to, as amended, the 
bill be read a third time and passed, the motion to reconsider be laid 
upon the table, and that any statements relating to the bill be printed 
in the Record.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The amendment (No. 3190) was agreed to.
  The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended, 
was agreed to.
