Report says AIDS cases to quintuple
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — The nation will have more than five times as many AIDS cases in four years, with 365,000 cases by 1992, spokesmen at the Centers for Disease Control predicted yesterday.
As of this week, 72,766 AIDS cases have been reported to the centers, with 41,604 patients, or 56 percent, already dead.
By the end of 1992, the number of cases will total 365,000, and deaths will reach 833,000, or 72 percent of the predicted case total, the report said.
The predictions came in a report summarizing the CDC's latest quarterly report on AIDS to the White
House's Domestic Policy Council. The CDC in 1986 issued its AIDS predictions for 1981, which call for 720,000 cases by the end of that year.
Actual AIDS reporting has run slightly higher than predicted; the number of cases in 1986 and 23,000 in 1987, while the actual were 17,100 and 25,000.
In the report released yesterday, the Atlanta-based health agency pre-empted an order to close alone, with 66,000 patients that year. A total of 172,000 living AIDS patients will require medical care in 1982 at $3 billion, the report predicted.
House defeats gun waiting period
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The pro-gun lobby was a major victory yesterday when the house eliminated a seven-day waiting period for handgun purchases from a comprehensive antidrive hill.
The 228-182 vote substituted a plan — still to be established — that would allow gun dealers identify individuals seeking to buy handguns.
The margin showed that the insurgents have an ability to armmuscle a coalition of handgun control organizations and allies from all the nation's major law enforcement agencies.

of the substitute, said the amendment was his own idea and to the gun owners' group came with its support.
The chief of NRA's political action institute, Wayne LaPierre, said, "We simply got to our base, the 70 million Americans that own and use guns and the rank and file law enforcement officers."

The drug bill would add some $2 billion to the nation's $3 billion drug bill. The Senate has expected next week. The Senate still has to consider its own drug fighting bill.
Voting for the substitute sponsored by McColum were 101 Democrat and 127 Republicans. Opposing were 137 Democrat and 45 Republicans.
The waiting period would have permitted police where the purchaser lives to conduct a background check, but would not have required one.
in the closing moments of debate, waiting period supporter William J. Campbell told us in a short show "how tough we are when it comes to bucking the National Rifle Association."
The waiting period language was named symbolically after presidential press secretary James Brady, who was shot along with Reagan in 1988, assassinated attempt of the president by John W. Hickey Jr.
If "Mr. Hinckley hadn't been able to get hold of a gun as early as he did, maybe the president wouldn't have been shot and Jim Brady might have been shot." The House Judiciary Committee Chairman Peter W. Rodin Jr., D-NJ
