"Only a truly effective, preventive HIV vaccine can limit and eventually eliminate the threat of AIDS. . . . Today, let us commit ourselves to developing an AIDS vaccine within the next decade. . . . My fellow Americans, if the 21st century is to be the century of biology, let us make an AIDS vaccine its first great triumph."
--Then-President Bill Clinton, in a May 18, 1997 commencement speech (pdf) at Morgan State University. This date is now marked as World AIDS Vaccine Day.
