rage 14 Monday, October 26, 1992 Daily Citizen Government slates AIDS vaccine research N.Y. Times News Service Health and the Department of Defense decide that expanded GP-160 trials are not immediately warranted. Still, lawmakers involved may find the episode embarrassing, and some have sought to minimize their roles. Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga.

and chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said in a statement that while his committee authorized the additional AIDS research money, the actual language appropriating the funds for GP-160 test trials was contained in a separate bill handled by a different committee. "These funds should be used in accordance with theprioritiesof Department of Defense medical experts and should not be restricted by a narrow legislative earmark for specific tests and vaccines," Nunn said. Last month, on the Senate floor, however, both Nunn and Sen. John Warner, R- applauded Long's interest in AIDS research and indicated that the $20 million would be used for expanded testing of the vaccine. line.

They say the lawmakers let corporate lobbyists, led by the influential former Sen. Russell B. Long, decide which AIDS treatments should be examined in studies supported by tax dollars. For 18 months, officials and lobbyists for MicroGeneSvs (pronounced micro genesis) intensively pushed federal researchers and lawmakers to speed up testing of the company's vaccine, according to interviews with researchers and congressional aides. Last year the company retained Long, the Louisiana Democrat who for many years was chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, to represent its interests in Washington.

The company's chairman insists that the focus was not the billions of dollars at stake in the race to find an AIDS vaccine, but the thousands of lives that hang in the balance. Several lawmakers and company lobbyists also say the scientists' concerns about the funds are overblown. They point out that the bill directs that the $20 million will still go to AIDS research if top officials at the FDA, the National Institutes of The federal government's top scientists are angrily protesting a recent decision by Congress to bypass medical researchers and approve $20 million for human trials of an experimental AIDS vaccine. Dr. Bernadine Hcaly, director of the National Institutes of Health, announced plans late last week to assemble a panel of leading AIDS experts to decide whether expanded testing of the vaccine, GP-160, should go forward.

And Dr. David Kesslcr, the commissioner of food and drugs, said in an interview that he opposed the increased testing until the situation was reviewed. The efficacy of the vaccine, which was developed by MicroGencSys a small biotechnology company in West Haven, is not the primary issue. Preliminary tests suggest that it may be valuable in controlling the onset of AIDS symptoms in people infected with HIV.

(AP) When he was 2 1 Chuck Collins came into a $275 ,000 inheritance, his share of the fortune made by his greatgrandfather, wiener king Oscar Mayer. Six years later, he gave it all away. Collins, 33, is one of thousands of Americans who ha ve donated small or large fortunes to further their ideas of a better world and, in many cases, to relieve guilt over their good fortune. COLLINS GAVE about 40 percent of his money to the Funding Exchange, a New York City-based keeper who came from downtown Detroit to work at our house," he said. In 1986, he decided to give away his fortune.

His father objected so strongly that Collins now refuses to talk about his family's reaction. He now lives in Cambridge and makes about $20,000 a year teaching community economics and working for an organization that helps neighborhood groups develop affordable housing.

He said he and his wife were trying to change the world with their money not just support worthy causes. Collins was raised in the well-to-do Detroit suburbof Bloonifield Hills. He was told about his trust fund at 16 and gained control of it at 21. He said he began to question his family's wealth after the 1967 riots in Detroit. "I noticed that poor people to activist causes around the country.

The rest went to similar groups in New England and the South. Officials at the Funding Exchange, which is distributing a record $7 million this year from its 2,500 donors, said Collins' views are typical of wealthy contributors who kept giving more each year throughout the 1980s. Christopher Mogil and his wife, Ann Slepian, gave away $300,000 of their family inheritance.
