Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I've been one of those who have been critical of the Pledge to Africa Act, because we haven't actually had a pill get into anybody's hand. Until it does, it doesn't do us much good over here, and it doesn't do somebody over there or anywhere else any good--and it's not just in Africa, but across the globe that this act is applicable.
With respect to your meeting coming up in two weeks, do you have some deadlines set for reviewing things and fixing the problem? And what do you mean by “fixing the problem”? Do you mean, by stating it right here, that you're committed to doing everything that's necessary to ensure that this actually translates into drugs for those persons suffering from AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria?
