Meeting. This year promises to continue ALECs tradition of bringing together state legislators, leaders of the business community, leading national political figures and policy experts for the purpose of furthering the pro-freedom, pro-free enterprise agenda. It is this unique public-private partnership that has served to make ALEC such a dynamic success in the past, and It will continue to do so. At this Annua/ Meeting, we have the opportunity to explore policy solutions and discover the ideas that have been successful In other states. We assemble here to redouble our efforts to bring common sense to the debate In the states. We come together to fight for economic policies that create Jobs rather than destroy them, to look for free market solutions to the problems facing us today, and to revive the fading notion of individual liberty. ^Keeping the American Dream Alive," that is our mission. This year, ALEC has the honor of presenting its Thomas Jefferson Freedom Award to the Honorable William Bennett, nationally known advocate of conservative principles and Co- Director of Empower America. The efforts of former Secretary Bennett, who will be addressing us at the Jefferson Awards Banquet, have been innumerable over the years. Working for two administrations in many different capacities, he has been a leading national figure in the public policy debate at all levels of government. We are very pleased that he is with us and we look forward to his address. I would also like to thank the Honorable George McGovern, Senator Don Nickles, Congressman Newt Gingrich, the Speaker of the Florida House Rolley Johnson, the Honorable Bret Schundler, and the rest of our featured speakers for their contribution to this important gathering. I know you will leave Tampa armed with an In-depth understanding of the cutting edge of public policy debate and return to your state determined to Implement the principles which have brought us together. I have enjoyed working with you in my tenure as National Chairman, and 1 look forward to an ongoing relationship as we confront the immense challenges facing America today. Sincerely.
