staff, external researchers, AIDS advocates, and representatives of other interested groups who provided input into the committee's deliberations. These individuals are acknowledged by name in Appendix C. One of these people, however, deserves special mention. William A. Bailey, a legislative affairs officer for the American Psychological Association, contributed greatly to this study, by lobbying Congress to mandate the IOM examination of the AIDS programs at the former ADAMHA, by presenting memorable testimony at the committee's public meeting, and by facilitating communication among the committee, the AIDS research and advocacy communities, and the federal government. Bill was a tireless advocate for AIDS prevention, a generous commitment from someone already afflicted with the disease. AIDS claimed Bill's life on April 23, 1994. The committee notes his passing with sadness and remembers his work with thanks.

Finally, the committee wishes to express its deep appreciation for the leadership, insight, and extraordinary diligence of our project director, Judy Auerbach, who instilled in us all a commitment to produce a report of which we could be proud. In addition to writing significant sections herself, she brought out our best efforts and was consistently able to produce the information we required to make this report responsive to our charge and, we hope, helpful to the field.
