DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania -- U.S. President George W. Bush, on a five-nation visit to Africa, challenged Congress on Sunday to renew and expand his global program to combat AIDS.
With backing from Congress, Bush is behind an emergency HIV/AIDS response that is the largest in history to target an infectious disease. It is up for review this year, and Bush is trying to double its size -- from the commitment of $15 billion already spent to $30 billion to be spent over the next five years.
