Education is another. The only thing that can halt the spread of this disease at the current time. President Reagan reminded us all. "is a change in the behavior of those Americans who are at risk." President Reagan called for mandatory AIDS testing in only two areas. Immigration applicants have always been subjected to tests for communicable diseases. and the Government is well within its rights in excluding AIDS carriers. Testing of Federal prisoners recognizes the obligation to protect the uninfected prisoners who must live in close proximity to carriers. In other areas the President called for "voluntary" AIDS testing.
