The 303-115 vote sends the global AIDS bill to President Bush for his signature. Bush, who first floated the idea of a campaign against the scourge of AIDS in his 2003 State of the Union speech, supports the five-year, $48 billion plan.

In a rare case of cooperation between the White House and the Democratic-controlled Congress, lawmakers voted this week to significantly increase U.S. assistance to fight AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis around the world. It gave renewed life to a program credited with saving and prolonging millions of lives in Africa alone.
