As President Bush departed for Africa, key questions about his Aids policy remained unanswered; including the level of funding that will actually be appropriated. While three billion dollars a year has been authorized by the U.S. Congress, the president has requested no additional funds for this fiscal year and less than 2 billion dollars for fiscal year 2004, including only 200 million dollars instead of 1 billion dollars for the Global Fund to Fight Aids. News reports say Republicans in the House of Representatives are planning to approve even less than the president's low request.
