Date: Sat, 13 May 1995 13:02:06 -0500 (CDT) From: Kevyn Jacobs To: "Kansas Queer News [KQN]" Subject: DOLE CO-SPONSORS RYAN WHITE BILL Dole Signs on as Cosponsor of Ryan White Bill Washington, DC (EGCM) Senator Robert Dole (R-KS), the Senate Majority Leader, has signed on as a co-sponsor of the Ryan White CARE Reauthorization Act of 1995 (S.641), a major breakthrough for gay Republicans and leading AIDS activists pushing for swift approval in the Senate. Log Cabin Republicans lobbied strenuously for Senator Dole's support for S.641, and his co-sponsorship should greatly enhance the likelihood that the bill will be approved by the full Senate soon. "This is a major victory for gay Republicans and the AIDS community," said Richard Tafel, executive director of LCR. "I'm confident that Senator Dole will remain personally involved in the effort to pass S.641 quickly, and will be a unifying influence among the Republicans in the Senate." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The entire contents of The Electronic Gay Community Magazine are Copyright 1995 by The Land of Awes Computer Information System (telephone 316-269-0913 Voice, 316-269-4208 fax/modem) but may be reproduced by any means without permission from the publishers provided that this copyright notice remains with each article.
