In order to accomplish that. it would be necessary for this body not to raise the point of order on the matter of adding the HIV virus to the dangerous contagious diseases list. because indeed it is legislation on an appropriations bill. I would be willing to give my word that I would not raise such a point of order and. indeed. if anybody did. there would be no agreement as to this matter. This way the distinguished Senator from North Carolina can make his point regarding those applying for permanent resident visas and the matter of adding the HIV virus to the dangerous contagious diseases list. I would point out that at the present time there are those who could very well not afford the lifeprolonging drug AZT. They should not be put in the position. in effect. of dying for a lack of funds when the $30 million from the public health emergency fund would be available to them to continue their treatment.
