The Deluxe 846-7466 • 203 University Dr. * Lunch Delivery on Campus Wednesday • March 4, 1998 Public, private programs join to provide AIDS drugs AUSTIN (AP) — State health offi cials announced a public-private program Tuesday that they say will help people with the virus that caus es AIDS to cope with the high wmmmmmmmmmmmmm costs of new drug therapies. The Texas Department of Health, which has about $4 million to buy drugs for people with HIV and AIDS who can not afford them, said the Ameri can AIDS Foun- ■■■■■■■■■■Mi dation has pledged to raise matching funds to make certain everyone eligible gets access to treatment. New drug combinations — fre quently called “cocktail therapies” — are prolonging the lives of peo ple with the human immunodefi ciency virus. “For the first time in years, people with HIV and those who love thern are daring to plan for longer, happier futures. We are determined to see that anyone who needs these drugs gets them,” said Jim Powell, president of the nonprofit AIDS foundation. The drugs are expensive, officials said. Costs per patient can add up to “...people with HIV and those who love them are daring to plan for longer, happier futures.” Jim Powell President of the AIDS foundation $9,000 to $15,000 a year. Many people can cover the costs by insurance, personal income or by federal and state programs for the needy or des- mmmmmmmmmmmmm perately ill. But some patients still are left with out the medi cines. “Without the private matching dollars provided by the American AIDS Founda tion, the state’s ability to help everyone who ■■■■■■■■■Mi needs our assis tance would be greatly limited,” said Dr. William Archer, state health commissioner. “The foundation’s support will help us reach Texans who need our help,” he said. In Texas, about 16,000 people are living with AIDS and an estimated 50,000 are infected with the virus. The Health Department said hun dreds of Texans with HIV are, at any given time, not able to obtain the life saving medications. Often they can not get these drugs therapies through disability insurance and cannot ob tain private insurance, yet they aren’t poor enough or sick enough to be el igible for assistance programs. Close friend of Clinton family testifies to jury WASHINGTON (AP) — Com pelled to tell his story to a grand jury, Vernon Jordan spent a full day Tuesday answering prosecu tors’ questions about his efforts to help Monica Lewinsky and predicted afterwards his “endur ing friendship” with President Clinton will survive. The first of the three major fig ures in the investigation to give testimony, the Washington super lawyer said he had answered all the questions posed to him be hind closed doors but was told to return Thursday. Jordan, a longtime friend, confidant and golfing compan ion of the president, declined to say what he told Kenneth W. Starr’s investigators about the re lationship between Clinton and Lewinsky. “I answered all of their ques tions truthfully and completely, to the best of my ability,” said Jor dan, whose efforts to find Lewin sky a job and a lawyer in late De cember and early January landed him in the middle of the contro versy. His lawyer, William Hundley, told a reporter that Jordan had been taken through a “slow, step by step” interrogation. But he did not elaborate. Jordan, however, did seek to minimize speculation that the protracted investigation had “cast doubt on my friendship with President Clinton.” “Let me reassure you that ours is an enduring friendship, an en during friendship based on mu tual respect, trust and admira tion," he said. “That was true yesterday. That is true today. That will be true tomorrow.” Starr has been moving toward Clinton summoning Lewinsky before the grand jury but has made no effort yet to question the president. Jordan’s grand jury appear ance had all the trappings of a major Washington media event. He arrived with a police escort to face a throng of cameras and re porters, with whom he would lat er joke at lunchtime. “Maybe if you all behave,” Jor dan quipped in the courthouse cafeteria when re porters asked if he would give a state ment at day’s end. His state ment was car ried live on CNN. At the White House, aides anxious ly awaited the completion of his appearance. Presidential spokesperson Mike McCurry told reporters he thought that Jordan, Clinton’s close personal friend and unoffi cial adviser, would “absolutely” give testimony helpful to the president. Meanwhile, individuals famil iar with the case said two other figures — White House aide Bruce Lindsey and Clinton’s per sonal secretary Betty Currie — would probably return for more testimony before the grand jury as early as Thursday. And Francis Carter, the lawyer whom Jordan arranged to repre sent Lewinsky, is mounting a court challenge to a subpoena from Starr seeking his docu ments.
