United States-India Joint Leadership Statement on HIV/AIDS
March 24, 2000
The HIV/AIDS epidemic is not only an Indian problem, it is not only
an American problem, it is a global crisis, threatening every country.
It burdens our health systems, our economies and, most importantly, the
lives of too many of our citizens. But the AIDS epidemic can be slowed,
and ultimately reversed by raising awareness, changing behavior and
developing new technologies including--eventually--a vaccine.
To that end, India and the United States are working closely
together, involving our public, academic, business and non-governmental
sectors for the benefit of our nations, and the world. India and the
United States are home to some of the world's finest scientists and
facilities. We intend to expand collaborative research efforts in HIV/
AIDS prevention. Together we are applying our nations' substantial
public health expertise and scientific capacities to fight the global
pandemic.
India's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, through the National
AIDS Control Organization (NACO), which coordinates HIV/AIDS policy
formulation and implements prevention and control programs, has recently
launched a new phase of its National AIDS Control Program. With a
substantial commitment from the Indian Government, bolstered by
additional resources from the World Bank, USAID and other donors, NACO
is now working with State health authorities and non-governmental
organizations to reduce high-risk behaviors and increase awareness in
the general population.
USAID is the major supporter of HIV/AIDS prevention programs in
Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu States. Additionally, the United States
(under its ``LIFE'' initiative) will support Indian efforts to prevent
infection, care for the affected, and build capacity. Planning for these
efforts include: establishing an HIV/AIDS resource center; establishing
a business coalition for employer-based HIV prevention activities with
private and public sector employers; supporting NGO activities for
children affected by AIDS; and sensitizing journalists to HIV/AIDS
issues.
Science alone will not win the world's struggle against HIV/AIDS.
This will require leadership, which India and the United States are
determined to provide. We hereby commit our continued, personal
involvement to stopping AIDS in India, the United States, and around the
world.

Proclamation 7283--Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration
of Greek and American Democracy, 2000
March 24, 2000
By the President of the United States
of America
A Proclamation
Two thousand five hundred years ago, the birth of democracy in
Greece ushered in one of the true golden ages of Western civilization.
The flowering of political, social, and artistic innovation in Greece
served as the source of many of our most treasured gifts--the philosophy
of Plato and Socrates, the plays of Sophocles and Aristophanes, the
heroic individualism that rings in the epic
poetry of Homer.
But Ancient Greece's greatest legacy is the establishment of
democratic government. America's founders were deeply influenced by the
passion for truth and justice that guided Greek political theory. In
ratifying our
[[Page 634]]
Constitution, they forever enshrined these principles in American law
and created a system of government based on the Hellenic belief that the
authority to govern derives directly from the people.
While our democracy has its roots in Greek thought, the friendship
between our two nations flows from our shared values, common goals, and
mutual respect. This kinship with the Greek people was reflected in the
enthusiasm with which America embraced modern Greece's fight for
independence 179 years ago. Many Americans fought alongside the Greeks,
while stirring speeches by President James Monroe and Daniel Webster led
the Congress to send funds and supplies to aid the Greeks in their
struggle for freedom.
Our alliance with Greece has remained strong. Together we have stood
up to the forces of oppression in conflicts from World War II to the
Persian Gulf, we have joined as strategic partners in NATO, and we have
worked to build peace, stability, and prosperity in the Balkans. Through
decades of challenge and change, our friendship has endured and
deepened, and together we have proved the fundamental truth of the Greek
proverb, ``The passion for freedom never dies.''
That passion for freedom has also beckoned generations of Greek men
and women to America's shores, and today we celebrate and give thanks
for the myriad contributions Greek Americans have made to our national
life. More than a million citizens of Greek descent live in America
today, and their devotion to family, faith, community, and country has
enriched our society immeasurably.
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United
States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March
25, 2000, as Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration of
Greek and American Democracy. I call upon all Americans to observe this
day with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fourth
day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-
fourth.
William J. Clinton
