Inserted: (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
Inserted: (1) The HIV/AIDS pandemic has reached staggering proportions. At the end of 2004, an estimated 40,000,000 people were infected with HIV or living with AIDS. HIV/AIDS is estimated to kill 3,000,000 men, women and children each year. Each year, there are estimated to be 5,000,000 new HIV infections.
Inserted: (2) The United States was the first, and remains the largest, contributor to the Global Fund.
Inserted: (3) The Presidential Administration of George W. Bush (referred to in this section as the "Administration") has supported language in the Global HIV/AIDS authorization bill that links United States contributions to the Global Fund to the contributions of other donors, permitting the United States to provide 33 percent of all donations, which would match contributions on a one-to-two basis.
Inserted: (4) Congress has provided one-third of all donations to the Global Fund every year of the Fund's existence.
Inserted: (5) For fiscal year 2006, the Global Fund estimates it will renew $2,400,000,000 worth of effective programs that are already operating on the ground, and the Administration and Fund Board have said that renewals of existing grants should receive priority funding.
Inserted: (6) The Global Fund is an important component of United States efforts to combat AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, and supports approximately 300 projects in 130 countries.
Inserted: (7) For fiscal year 2006, the President has requested $300,000,000 for the United States contribution to the Global Fund.
Inserted: (8) Through a mid-year review process, Congress and the Administration will assess contributions to date and anticipated contributions to the Global Fund, and ensure that United States contributions, at year-end, are at the appropriate one-to-two ratio.
Inserted: (9) Congress and the Administration will monitor contributions to the Global Fund to ensure that United States contributions do not exceed one-third of the Global Fund's revenues.
Inserted: (10) In order to cover one-third of renewals during fiscal year 2006, and to maintain the one-to-two funding match, the United States will need to contribute an additional $500,000,000 above the President's request for the Global Fund for fiscal year 2006 to keep good programs funded at a level of $800,000,000.
