A PROGRAM OF THE FULBRIGHT A SSOCIATION

WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON

William J efferson Clinton was elected President of the U nited Scares in 1992, and again in 1996-rhe first Democratic president to be awarded a second term in six decades. Under his leadership, the United Scares enjoyed the strongest economy in a generation and the longest economic expansion in U.S. history. President Clinton's core values of building community, creating opportunity and demanding responsibility resulted in unprecedented progress for America, including moving the nation from record deficits to record surpluses; the creation of over 22 million jobs-more than any ocher administration; low levels of unemployment, poverty and crime; and the highest homeownership and college enrollment rares in history.

His accomplishments as president include increasing investment in education, provid ing tax relief for working families, helping millions of Americans move from welfare to work, expand­ing access to technology, encouraging investment in underserved communities, protecting the environment, countering the threat of terrorism and promoting peace and strengthening democracy around the world. President Clinton previously served as the Governor of Arkansas, chairman of the National Governors' Association and Attorney General of Arkansas. As former chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council, he is one of the original architects and lead­ing advocates of the Third Way movement.

President Clinton established the William J. Clinton Foundation (www.cli ntonfoundation.org) to construct and endow the Clinton Presidential Center and to strengthen the capacity of peo­ple in the United Stares and throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interde­pendence. To advance chis mission, rhe Foundation is focused on four critical areas: health security, with an emphasis on HIV/AIDS; economic empowerment; leadership development and citizen service; and racial, ethnic and religious reconciliation. The Clinton Pres idential Center, which is comprised of the Library, the archives, Foundation offices and the Clinton School of Public Service, opened in Little Rock, Arkansas on November 18, 2004. To dace, more than 200,000 people from around the country and the world have visited the Center, which has also helped promote $1 billion of development in the community.

The Clinton Foundation works throug h partnerships with like-minded individuals, organiza­tions, businesses and governments char share its mission. For example, President Clinton serves as Honorary Co-Chair of the Club of Madrid, an organization dedicated to strengthening democracy around the world by drawing on the unique experiences and resources of former heads of state and of government of democratic nations.

The Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative aims to assist countries in implementing large­scale, integrated care, treatment and prevention programs that will turn the tide on the epidemic. Jc parrners with countries in Africa, the Caribbean and Asia to develop operational business p lans to scale up care and treatment.

The Foundat ion works with individual governments and provides chem with technical assis­tance, human and financial resources and know-how from the sharing of the best practices across projects. The ultimate objective in each of these countries is to scale up public health systems to ensure broad access to hig h-quality care and treatment. The Initiative's long-term goal is ro develop replicable models of integrated programs in resource-poor settings.

To accomplish chis goal, rhe Initiative introduces business-based procedures to HIV/AIDS care and treatment systems to improve various conditions including drug storage, cracking and dis­tribution; program management; and information sharing . The Initiative has recruited experts with experience in business, logistics, HIV/AIDS clinical care and public health to provide technical assisrance in each country.

In April 2005, the Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative expanded its programs and launched its new Pediatric and Rural Initiat ives ro provide HIV/AIDS medications to children

and persons in rural areas, those often forgotten in the battle againsr HIV/AIDS. Though AIDS care and treatment is now finally taking off in the developing world, the focus thus fa r has been mainly on adults and on people living in ci ties and towns. These initiatives aim to make a sig nificant d ifference in the battle against AIDS in children and in rural areas.

For his work on HIV/AIDS, President Clinton was honored with the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Award for Humani tarian Contributions to the Health of Humankind from the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases and the 2005 Pasteur Foundation Award.

In che wake of the devastating earthquake that scruck Gujarat, India, President Clinton helped found the American India Foundation, which is dedicated to accelerating social and economic change in India by connecting communities and resources across the United Stares and India. In addition, President Clinton served as Co-Chair of che Families of Freedom Fund with Senator Bob Dole, which raised more than $ 100 million in scholarship money for fami­lies of those killed or injured on 9/ l l.

More recently, after the December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, President George W. Bush asked President Clinton and President George H .W. Bush ro lead a nationwide fundraising effort to help bring much-needed relief to the victims of this disaster. Besides doing a number of public service announcements and media and public appearances to focus attention on chis cause, the former presidents traveled to Asia in February 2005 to witness the effects of the tsunami and the reconstruction efforts firsthand.

In March 2005, President Clinton was named Special Envoy for Tsunami Recovery by United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
