Evangelicals Seek More AIDS Funding

Before the January State of the Union address, a coalition of evangelical Christian groups called for President Bush to increase funding for the global AIDS, TB, and malaria initiative to $3.6 million. Serge Duss, director of public policy for World Vision, said the increase “is absolutely necessary to keep the plan on target.”
