RE: Ryan White CARE Act funds and Eileen Hansen's trip to Durban

Dear Dr. O'Neill:

As you can read in the appended from Eileen Hansen's web site for her 
campaign for the San Francisco board of supervisors, Hansen traveled to the 
13th International AIDS Conference to deliver what amounts to a campaign 
speech. 

Even though Hansen claims she was invited to the conference by the host 
organizers, I wonder if any of the $200,952 in Ryan White CARE Act grant to 
Hansen's group, the AIDS Legal Referral Panel of San Francisco, was used for 
her stump speech on the other side of the world.

Please investigate if a firewall divides Hansen's work at the AIDS Legal 
Referral Panel and her political ambitions. If such a firewall exists, then I 
would appreciate seeing the evidence proving Hansen has not used Ryan White 
CARE Act funds for her travels abroad.

I ask for a prompt response.

Sincerely,
