Abstract: During a May 18, 1997 commencement address at Morgan State University, President Clinton announced the establishment of a new AIDS vaccine research center within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and called for accelerated development of an AIDS vaccine. Clinton appealed to foreign governments and pharmaceutical companies to find a vaccine for HIV. The president did not propose new Federal funding to support this development. The fiscal year 1998 budget includes a $39 million increase in AIDS research at the NIH, only a portion of which goes to vaccine development. Reactions to the president's statement range from hopefulness to skepticism. About 40 experimental vaccines are under development throughout the world.
