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."

The Commission on Immigration Reform CIR was formed by Congress in 1990 to critically examine United States immigration policies. The bipartisan commission was chaired by the late Congresswoman Barbara Jordan the highly esteemed civil rights advocate and is often referred to as the Jordan Commission. In a series of reports submitted between 1994 and 1997 the commission analyzed the impact of current immigration policies and issued recommendations for reform. The spirit of these recommendations was to return U.S. immigration policy to its stated intentions: reuniting nuclear families providing employers with skilled workers and providing humanitarian aid to refugees. The commission's primary recommendations were to improve controls against illegal immigration revamp the refugee and asylum admission system and reduce legal immigration. As mandated by the Immigration Act of 1990 the Commission conducted more than 40 public hearings consultations and site visits in the United States and some foreign countries. This final report makes recommendations to further the goals of Americanization by setting out immigrant policies to help orient immigrants and their new communities to improve educational programs that help immigrants and their children learn English and civics and to reinforce the integrity of the naturalization process by which immigrants become citizens. The report also makes recommendations for immigration policy repeating and updating the conclusions reached in three previous reports on unlawful migration legal immigration refugee and asylum policy and making additional recommendations for reforming immigration policies. The Commission urges a renewed commitment to the education of immigrant children and a recognition that education is the primary tool of Americanization for children and adults. paperback
