Deai* ALEC Colleague: Welcome to Tampa, Florida and the American Legislative Exchange Council's 31st Annua.' 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.

From Poverty to Prosperity America's welfare system fails in its more fundamental task—assisting the poor in entering the mainstream of economic life. Instead the welfare system entraps the poor by making them dependent upon government. As today's speaker has often said, public policy Representative should not focus on poverty, it should focus on proven methods for lifting people from Harold J. Brubaker dependence to independence, from poverty to prosperity.

Mr, Robert Woodson, Srv National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise President

From Crime to Security America's crime rate has risen sharply in recent decades. Much of the cause can be traced to permissive policies, especially in corrections and the judicary.

The potential of alternative fuels as a means to reduce air pollution is great, but states should be careful not to forego the ben efits of alternative fuels by mandating a type of fuel or vehicle either directly through a mandate or indirectly through subsidies. The success of any alternative fuels program relies upon its ease of conversion, cost to consumers and air quality benefits.

Crime: Getting the Incentives Right Crime is costly to society. People pay the price through emotional distress, disrupted lives and economic losses. The incentives established by the criminal justice system often allow or even encourage higher rates of crime. Publicly run pre-trial release programs, for exam ple, are far less effective than the private bail system, because public administrators have no little personal incentive to ensure that the accused appear when required. Punishment has become so uncertain and light that it has been relegated to the status of an occupa tional hazard for criminals. The incentives of the criminal justice system must be over hauled so that crime is no longer profitable for criminals.

TI16281259 1994 Thomas Jefferson Freedom

The Honorable William J. Bennett 1994 Thomas Jefferson Freedom Award

A Man for AH Seasons Awarded annually to a nationally recognized public figure who embodies thejeffersonian principles of free enterprise/ limited government, individual liberty, and basic American values, the Thomas Jefferson Freedom Award is the most prestigious honor bestowed by the American Legislative Exchange Council.

William J. Bennett's accomplishments are many and varied. The Book of Virtues- his most recent achievement - is a best seller widely praised by liberals and conservatives alike. But Bennett's courageous exposure of the abject failure of the public school system to educate our children best exemplifies the spirit of Jefferson. His nationwide campaign moved the edu cational debate from the halls of government to the kitchen tables of Amer ica. His honest and unflinching account of the dismal state of public education forever changed the terms of that debate and reminded Ameri The Honorable cans of the dangers of unlimited government. His prescriptions for trans William J. Bennett forming education - embody individual liberty and remain at the cutting edge of the education debate today.

In this and other endeavors, Bill Bennett has demonstrated a commitment to the belief that people are more important than bureaucracies and that government should be the servant of the people.

"Bill Bennett's honesty, his courage, and his perseverance in facing the powerful educational establishment illustrate the power and the timelessness of simple virtues and remain an inspiration to us all/' stated Samuel A. Brunelli, ALEC's Executive Director.

With great pride and admiration, the American Legislative Exchange Council presents the 1994 Thomas Jefferson Freedom Award to The Honorable William J. Bennett, a modern-day Thomas Jefferson.

T116281260 Hrr K-. 1994 Adam Smith Free Enterprise A m p#* *

Charles G. Koch David H. Koch 1994 Adam Smith Free Enterprise Award

Adam Smith first out lined economic princi ples based upon the operation of human nature. In the Wealth of Nations Smith demon strated that greater afflu ence results when the interests of consumers are placed first. The key is a free people, liberated to pursue their own best economic interests by serving the interests of their customers. The result was unprecedented growth in the nations that embraced Smith's economic principles: especially Britain in the 19th and 20th century. The legitimacy of his contribution is being reaffirmed as nations around the world adopt economic systems and policies based upon the principles espoused by Adam Smith. Charles Koch It is in the best tradition of Adam Smith's ideas that we honor David and Charles Koch. David and Charles Koch have created one of America's most successful and dynamic energy corporations, expanding from 650 employees to over 12,000 in a period of just two and a half decades. Koch Industries is a shin ing example of entrepreneurial spirit and vision at its best.

Beyond their tremendously successful business endeavors, the Kochs have played a pivotal role in establishing America's premier free market educa tional foundations. Through their generous support, many policy organiza tions, including the Institute for Humane Studies, the CATO Institute, and Citizens for a Sound Economy, have been able to provide research and edu cational services for free market causes.

Charles Koch has often said, "True knowledge results in effective action/' and, in light of that belief, both he and David support various educational programs, such as the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE). They support NFTE because of their belief that the best way to break the cycle of dependency gripping millions of minority youth is to introduce David Koch them to the liberating power of entrepreneurial capitalism.

The American Legislative Exchange Council is proud to present the 1994 Adam Smith Free Enterprise Award to Charles C. Koch and David H. Koch.
