In Latin America and the Caribbean, smoking rates are rapidly increasing particularly among women and youth. Smoking related disease and death rates are also rising rapidly. In the Latin American and Caribbean nations, large tobacco industry lobbies are successfully detering smoking legislation and taxation. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/43691-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) News Conference http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/43691-1 Thu, 12 Mar 1992 19:20:00 GMT The National Commission on AIDS, a fifteen member commission named by Congress to advise the government on the creation of a national policy in response to the HIV epidemic, met in Washington to assess the progress of guidelines instituted by states to prevent the spread of the HIV virus during health procedures.

AIDS activists have opposed AIDS testing for medical personnel, fearing such tests will result in persecution of medical personnel who test positive but who engage in adequate precautions against the transfer of blood. The issue has come to national attention largely because of a woman in Florida who is dying of an AIDS related infection after being infected with the HIV virus by her dentist. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/19605-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Television Interview http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/19605-1 Mon, 15 Jul 1991 15:48:00 GMT Mr. Fitzwater spoke with reporters about the president's agenda. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/29783-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) White House Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/29783-1 Thu, 13 Jun 1991 12:06:00 GMT The committee heard testimony on the spread of measles, a "childhood" disease which poses a grave threat to infants, children and adults.

Witnesses testified to the extent and severity of the measles epidemic, and criticized cutbacks in appropriations for basic medical services, including vaccination programs. Dr. Roper stated that immunization programs are one of the most cost-effective public medical programs in America today, but less than half of poor children in America are immunized. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/17025-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) House Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/17025-1 Mon, 11 Mar 1991 14:48:41 GMT The committee hears a cancer study review by the Centers for Disease Control. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/11770-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) House Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/11770-1 Thu, 05 Apr 1990 04:53:00 GMT http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/6809-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/6809-1 Fri, 24 Mar 1989 17:05:00 GMT http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/5455-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Call-In http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/5455-1 Wed, 21 Dec 1988 23:30:00 GMT The subcommittee hears testimony on the long term financial status of Social Security trust funds. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/2579-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Senate Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/2579-1 Sat, 14 May 1988 01:37:00 GMT The committee discusses biomedical research and development for maternal and child health welfare. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/5249-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Senate Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/5249-1 Sun, 04 Dec 1988 09:06:00 GMT The Presidential Commission on Privatization heard testimony from members of the federal government, experts, and members of the private sector on the feasibility, practicality, advantages and disadvantages of attempting to privatize the government's involvement in medical care and international development. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/936-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/936-1 Sat, 09 Jan 1988 01:29:47 GMT The Senate special committee on aging heard testimony on the proposed Medicare part B premium increase.
