Director. Division of Quarantine. Center for Prevention Services. Centers for Disease Control. Atlanta. GA. DEAR MR. MCCANCE: We the undersigned represent medical research scientists deeply concerned about the interim ruling effective June 1. 1991. regarding travelers and immigrants infected with the human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]. This interim ruling reinstates HIV infection on the list of "communicable diseases of public health significance." once again making HIV infection grounds for exclusion of immigrants and travelers to the United States. The interim rule reverses. for a 60day period. the proposed regulation published by Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan. M.D.. In the Federal Register on January 23. 1991. which would have listed infectious tuberculosis as the only disease warranting such exclusion.
