October 5, 1993 XX (b)(6) Mobile, AL 36608 Congressman Sonny Callahan United States House of Representatives 2418 Longworth Bldg. Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Representative Callahan: National Public Radio reported this morning that the U.S.. Justice Department had filed its first lawsuit against discrimi- nation relative to people who are HIV positive. The report said the lawsuit was against two dentists who refused to provide care to an AIDS infected person. Please provide me with information about what our "Justice Department is doing here. Is the population of HIV people "protected class" under "civil rights" laws? How is this case framed? If seems to me that the dentists acted prudently. Do you remember Kimberly Bergalis? If care were to be administered to an HIV positive person, the dentist should be wearing a space suit. Shall we require all dentists to equip themselves with space suits to prevent descrim- nation? I believe that I see the light at the end of the Hillary tunnel, and it is an oncoming train. What she intends to do is provide one mandatory healthcare for all, and don't ask, don't tell, and don't pursue HIV. That will solve it. We will a11 be infected! Sincerely, XX (b)(6) XX 01-02914
