World AIDS Day in Washington
President Bush will deliver remarks today at 10:05 am EST commemorating World AIDS Day. We will post the webcast and transcript shortly, if they are made available.
Shortly after delivering his remarks, Mr. Bush will be joined by Mrs. Bush and President-elect Obama (via taped remarks) at the 2008 Saddleback Civil Forum on Global Health at 10:30 am EST. Pastor Rick Warren is expected to recognize President Bush for his work around PEPFAR (the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief). You can watch a live webcast of the event here.
Also in commemoration of World AIDS Day, Ambassador Mark R. Dybul, U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator of the Office of National AIDS Policy will be hosting an “Ask the White House” online forum at 2 PM EST fielding questions from readers about World AIDS Day. Click here to submit your questions now.
We’ll keep you posted throughout the day with any other developments.
