Funds UK'd for AIDS drug
Washington reported a last minute move by Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan to authorize 5 million dollars to continue free AZT supplies for about 7 000 AIDS patients. The federal program risked expiration as 26 states had exhausted funds. AZT, made by Burroughs Wellcome Co, can cost up to 8 000 dollars annually and slows AIDS progression though it does not cure it. Last fall Congress members urged price reductions from Burroughs Wellcome.
