U.S. Congress Defeats “Hostile” Danne-
meyer Amendments

Washington, D.C., September 23,
1988... In a 367—to-13 vote, the House
passed the AIDS Federal Policy Act of
1988 (H.R. 5142), which expedites AIDS
research, authorizes $1.2 billion.over three
years for voluntary AIDS testing and coun-
seling, and establishes a federal commis-

. sion to study and make policy recommen-

dations regarding AIDS.

In addition, the House rejected various
“hostile”~ amendments offered by Repre-
sentatives William Dannemeyer (R—Calif.)

~ and Bill McCollum (R—Fla.) by over-

whelming margins that startled even AIDS
lobbyists working on the bill.
