Senate Confirms Tobias as White House AIDS Coordinator

From U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

October 6, 2003

By a voice vote on Friday, the Senate confirmed Randall Tobias to be the White House's coordinator in the international battle against AIDS. The former CEO of Eli Lilly & Co. will coordinate international HIV/AIDS activities for all government departments and agencies, as well as religion-affiliated groups. The U.S. government this year promised $15 billion over the next five years to fight AIDS, mainly in 14 African and Caribbean countries. Tobias, of Indianapolis, is a Republican Party contributor who retired from Lilly in 1998. He also has been vice chair of AT&T and chair of AT&T International.
