FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS Pub. L. 102-96, §2, Aug. 14, 1991, 105 Stat. 481, provided that: "(a) FINDINGS.-Congress finds that- "(1) community-based clinical trials complement the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases' university-based research in order to provide increased access to experimental therapies;"(2) community-based clinical trials provide an efficient and cost-effective means to develop new HIV-related treatments, benefiting all people living with HIV disease and other illnesses; and"(3) because the community-based clinical trials model has a proven ability to conduct rapid trials that meet the very highest standards of scientific inquiry, this program should be reauthorized and significantly expanded."(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.-It is the sense of Congress that, because of Terry Beirn's tireless efforts to foster a partnership among all parties invested in AIDS research (including the National Institutes of Health university-based research system, primary care physicians practicing in the community, and patients), the community-based clinical trials program should be renamed as the 'Terry Beirn Community-Based AIDS Research Initiative' in his honor."
