Summary:
The Administration's FY2005 request for international HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis,
and malaria programs totals about $2.8 billion, as compared with $2.4 billion
appropriated for FY2004. The FY2005 request includes a large increase for the Global
AIDS Initiative, headquartered at the Department of State, while the request for the
Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (Global Fund) is $200 million,
as compared with $546.7 million appropriated in FY2004. The Foreign Operations
Appropriations bill reported in the House (H.R. 4818/H.Rept. 108-599) would provide
slightly more than the Administration's request overall, as well as $400 million as the
Foreign Operations component of the Global Fund contribution. An additional portion
of the contribution is provided through the Labor/Health and Human Services
Appropriation. For additional information, see CRS Issue Brief IB10050, AIDS in
Africa.
