1. Demand research funding parity for CFS with AIDS.

as separate entities.
3. Urge the CDC to move their AIDS division under the CFS umbrella so they =
research all the infections that AIDS and CFS have in common.
4. Urge that AIDS organizations (like Amfar) include CFS under their umbrel=
las so that CFS advocates don=E2=80=99t have to reinvent the wheel.
5. Demand that the White House, Fauci and the Director of NIH make a public=
statement that (just from what we know today) in terms of the immune dysfu=
nction and human suffering, CFS is just as serious a public health problem =
as AIDS.
6. Request that an annual international joint CFS & AIDS conference be held=
by the World Health Organization.
7. Suggest that next December 1st be declared the first =E2=80=9CWorld CFS/=
AIDS Day.=E2=80=9D
