    On Friday, President Clinton named Kristine Gebbie, a 49-year-old
 former nurse and past head of two state health departments, to be
 the nation's first "AIDS czar."
    Ms. Gebbie, whom the president chose after several other
 candidates turned down the job, will be responsible for coordinating
 the government's response to the acquired immune deficiency syndrome
 epidemic and getting the numerous arms of the federal bureaucracy
 that have a piece of the issue to work together.
    She has been secretary of the Washington State Department of
 Health, administrator of the Oregon Health Division and was on
 several federal and state AIDS advisory committees and commissions.
