acknowledge and thank the thousands of volunteers, community members, health
professionals, supporters and scientists who are working together to find a safe and
effective AIDS vaccine and urge the international community to recognize the
importance of investing in new technologies as a critical element of a
comprehensive response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
