pepfar is a case where policy shaped by great values works. pepfar furthers the ideals of freedom. we showed the world the fruits of the american spirit and how that can be exported to help others. our brand of democratic capitalism produces enough benefits that we have room to share. more importantly, it's been documented that our providing aid for health calls with state stability far furthers the ideals of opportunity. countries where a third of the population are dying, as was the case in several african countries in 2002, breeds hopelessness and becomes ripe for corruption and extremism. we take steps to replace poverty and disease with hope. it has been documented that countries with higher pepfar investments have had greater worker productivity and economic development. pep farhat accountability baked in combined with the millennium challenge corporation, pepfar demonstrated how real accountability can be built into massive aid programs to align interests and build local capacity for success with networks of partners to share the burden versus the inefficiency of central pla

what nick kristof said is, i want to talk about pepfar.the most successful government program in my lifetime. 25 million lives saved. can you talk about how extraordinary this program is and how you all achieved that success? >> yes. well, i'm grateful to the american people who have supported this program for 20 years. we have to remember that president bush made an appeal to the american people, and i'll never forget that night, when he said, to whom much is given, much is expected. and so i think what we have to focus on here is the united states of america is at its best when it leads from power, which we have plenty of, but also principle and compassion. the 25 million lives that were saved, and we have to realize, it's not just the 25 million lives that were saved, think of all the orphans that were not created because their parents were saved. think about the mother-to-child transmission that was a part of this, that saved the lives of pregnant women who were giving birth to children. we have to realize what a terrible situation thi

far my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have come from the vision of george bush and his pepfarnitiative. the underlying bill already cuts funding for the minority hiv-aids prevention initiative by more than 50%. we have cut it already. in this bill. by 50%. from its current level funding level of $60 million to a proposed funding level of only $28 million. that's unacceptable. that's unacceptable. in the explanatory materials, republican majority posted online, to accompany the labor-hhs appropriations bill, the majority acknowledges and i quote, the critical role that minority aids initiative plays in our long-standing efforts to eliminate h.i.v. and address the disproportionate disease burden that racial minority communities face. that's in the explanatory materials. and that's true. the minority hiv-aids prevention initiative supports h.i.v. prevention as well as treatment in minority communities to help address that disparity. but while we have made significant advances in recent decades against the h.i.v. epidemic, it can'ts to be a crisis in many racial and ethnic minorit
