WASHINGTON _ President Bush's proposed $1.5 trillion budget for 1993, which

he presented to Congress Wednesday, total federal outlays for AIDS would

increase by $565 million, or 13 percent, to $4.9 billion.

That includes a proposed 4 percent boost for AIDS research, from $1.2

billion this year to $1.2 billion in 1993. AIDS research funding would be

second only to cancer research, which would receive $2.04 billion.

Plans to map the human genome, the genetic pattern that determines the

inherited characteristics of each individual, would be supported by a 7 percent

increase, to $175 million. The project is expected to take 15 years and is

believed to hold promise for the treatment of inherited disease.
