Dear Colleague:

On December 1, 1994, World AIDS Day, in homes, schools, and
businesses across the continents, attention will be drawn to the
AIDS crisis.  On that day, we urge you to view a very important
nationally televised Conference on HIV/AIDS and the Workplace.
Why?  Because AIDS is the second leading cause of death in the
United States among people age 25-44, and more than half of our
Nation's workforce are in this age group.

Leading experts from business, labor, and government from across
the country will share their experience in developing workplace
policies and programs addressing the HIV/AIDS issue at this
conference, to be broadcast via satellite Thursday, December 1,
from 1pm to 4pm EST.

Hosted by Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell, the event will feature such
speakers as Moderator Lou Dobbs, CNN Senior Vice President and
Anchor of "Moneyline"; Dr. David Satcher, Director, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); Angie Hammock, Director,
Business Responds to AIDS and Labor Responds to AIDS, CDC; Enoch
Prow, Executive Vice President, NationsBank; Robert Pleasure,
Executive Director, Goerge Meany Center for Labor Studies; and
William Baumhauer, Chief Executive Officer, DAKA International
Inc., (Fuddruckers).

This broadcast is designed for businesses and labor leader
interested in develping or enhancing an HIV/AIDS in the workplace
program.  If you are a business or union, you can use this event to
begin the training of managers and labor leaders.  If you are an
organization, you could host a local World AIDS Day event and
invite business and labor leaders to view the teleconference.

The teleconference also may be viewed at some of the following
locations, including American Red Cross Chapter, hospitals,
universities, chambers of commerce, business and TV stations.
