Ira,

Following-up on President Clinton's comments on Thursday to the World AIDS Day event in DC, he asked that we check-in with you to get your thoughts on the proposal that he made about allowing generics to be sold in the US to help address the domestic AIDS situation amidst limited domestic budgets, at least for a year or two.

What are your thoughts on this and what would be needed to start thinking about how to have the right folks advance this idea?

Sincerely,
Ami
