Title continues; One Hundred Sixth Congress First Session July 22 1999. Serial No. 106-126. From Wikipedia: "Human immunodeficiency virus infection / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome HIV/AIDS is a disease of the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus HIV. During the initial infection a person may experience a brief period of influenza-like illness. This is typically followed by a prolonged period without symptoms. As the illness progresses it interferes more and more with the immune system making people much more likely to get infections including opportunistic infections and tumors that do not usually affect people with working immune systems. HIV is transmitted primarily via unprotected sexual intercourse including anal and even oral sex contaminated blood transfusions and hypodermic needles and from mother to child during pregnancy delivery or breastfeeding. Some bodily fluids such as saliva and tears do not transmit HIV. Prevention of HIV infection primarily through safe sex and needle-exchange programs is a key strategy to control the spread of the disease. There is no cure or vaccine; however antiretroviral treatment can slow the course of the disease and may lead to a near-normal life expectancy. While antiretroviral treatment reduces the risk of death and complications from the disease these medications are expensive and may be associated with side effects. Genetic research indicates that HIV originated in west-central Africa during the early twentieth century. AIDS was first recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC in 1981 and its cause HIV infection was identified in the early part of the decade. Since its discovery AIDS has caused nearly 30 million deaths as of 2009. As of 2010 approximately 34 million people have contracted HIV globally. AIDS is considered a pandemic a disease outbreak which is present over a large area and is actively spreading. HIV/AIDS has had a great impact on society both as an illness and as a source of discrimination. The disease also has significant economic impacts. There are many misconceptions about HIV/AIDS such as the belief that it can be transmitted by casual non-sexual contact. The disease has also become subject to many controversies involving religion."

Serial No. 109-167 Drowning in a Sea of Faux Secrets: Policies on Handling of Classified and Sensitive Information is a March 14 2006 congressional hearing by the House Subcommittee on National Security Emerging Threats and International Relations. It investigated how excessive secrecy and "fake" secrets hinder national security arguing for a shift from "need to know" to "need to share". The hearing examined how over-classification and the proliferation of "sensitive but unclassified" labels created a "sea of faux secrets" that obscured critical information. While excessive secrecy was considered useful during the Cold War it was seen as harmful in the context of modern terrorism as it hides information that if linked could stop attacks. The hearing addressed reports of a secret program to reclassify previously declassified documents. The hearing was chaired by Rep. Christopher Shays focusing on government reform and oversight of national security policies. Government Printing Office paperback
