   WASHINGTON -- President Reagan, stepping up his attack on
the protectionist wave sweeping Congress, warned that a
"mindless stampede toward protectionism will be a one-way
trip toward economic disaster."

   The president also fielded two questions about Acquired
Immune Deficiency Syndrome, or AIDS. He ducked a question
about whether he would put a school-aged child of his own in
the same school with an AIDS victim, saying, "I'm glad I'm
not faced with that decision."  And he defended the amount of
federal money currently going into research on the disease.
"With our budget constraints, $126 million in a single year
for research has got to be something of a vital
contribution."
