Vice-President George Bush addresses the AIDS Executive Committee during the centennial year of the National Institutes of Health. As the NIH enters its second century it faces one of its greatest research challenges -- a cure and vaccine against the deadly viral disease AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), which has become the major scourge of the late twentieth century. To the left of the Vice-President is Dr. James B. Wyngaarden, director of the NIH, and to the right of the Vice-President is Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and coordinator of NIH research on AIDS.
