Today, ALEC has grown to become the nation's largest bipartisan, individual membership organization of state legislators with 2,400 members, nearly one-third of whom hold leadership positions in their legislatures. Approximately 63 million Americans are represented by the citizen legislators of ALECALEC s goal is to ensure that our legislative members are fully armed with the information, research and ideas they need to win in the legislative arena. Our publications keep members upto-date on emerging trends and provide in-depth analyses of issues at the state level. Our conferences and meetings promote colleague to colleague communication by linking like minded legislators together. Our Legislative Task Forces provide a forum in which legislators and the private sector discuss issues, develop policies and write model legislation. Unlike other state legislative organizations, ALEC's credo is that business should be an ally, not an adversary, of state legislators. ALEC provides the private sector with an unparalleled opportunity to have their voices heard, their perspectives appreciated, and their interests put before the more than 2,400 pro-free enterprise state legislators of ALEC. Through ALEC, legislators and the private sector work in a dynamic partnership to develop public policies that harness the immense power of free markets and free enterprise to encourage economic growth, increase the nation's competitiveness, and improve the quality of life for all Americans.

Brunclli Iwmilixe Director WEANING. This single wordsums up theesscnceof the American experience. Since the birth of our nation, Americans have been dedicated to succeeding. By carving a new nation out of a wilderness, and rising to create the world's only superpower today, Americans have shown what free men and women can accomplish if given the opportunity to fully use their talents, courage, creativity and initiative. AMERICANS created the first true representative democracy, and started the movement of democratic capitalism that is sweeping the world today. AMERICAN free enterprise is the model for the world, proving that free markets, individual liberty, and limited government is the most productive and compassionate economic system possible. THE principles that the power of government is a grant from the people, and that the individual is superior to the government, are the fundamental principles that have turned the American Experiment into the American Dream. FREE markets. Free enterprise. Limited government. Individual liberty. These are the fundamental principles of America. These are also the fundamental principles of ALEC, and the principles we are fighting for. ALEC has led thefightto open markets in health care, transportation, telecommunications, banking, real estate, and, perhaps most importantly, education. ALEC has promoted free enterprise by fighting excessive government regulation, developing pro-growth tax and fiscal policies, and giving the private sector a voice in the development of national and state policies. ALEC has battled the expansion of big government, leading the charge for a Balanced Budget Amendment, battling Congress' attempts to place unfunded federal mandates on the states, revealing the excessive costs of public employee compensation, and making the case for low taxes and reduced government spending. ALEC is fighting to empower all individuals so that each will have the opportunity and means to succeed to leave a life of dependency and build a life in which each is a self-sufficient, contributing member of society. AND we will win these battles because ALEC is America's leading grassroots force for change. ALEC is citizen legislators, living in their neighborhoods, working for their communities, and serving their states. ALEC is the voice of those who seek to break the bonds of dependency. ALEC is the protector of those suffering from the destructiveness of unfair and excessive taxation. ALEC is the champion of the entrepreneurs seeking an opportunity to succeed. ALEC is, above all, the guardian of the children of today, fighting for their right to a good education, a world free from crime and despair, and a future filled with economic opportunity, not debt and limited horizons. ALEC is the nation's leading grassroots force for change because it is fighting for people, families and the future. ALEC has proven that government can and should be for people, not government. And that ideas, not politicians, govern America. ALEC's record of success proves that ideas combined with action produces results. IDEAS, based on fundamental American principles. Action, from the efforts of 2,500 pro-free enterprise state legislators, representing more than 63 million Americans, working with hundreds of private sector partners. Results in the form of hundreds of model bills introduced and enacted into law in every state in the nation. That is the essence of ALEC. That is our formula for winning. ALEC - the last, best hope for the renewal of the American Dream.

IN 1992 we held the best meetings in our history. IN 1992 we published the finest issues papers and studies in our history. IN 1992 we launched a bold initiative to reform health care based on free market principles. ALEC'S 19th Annual Meeting in Colorado Springs was arousing success. ALEC was the only state organization addressed by President Bush, and withfivemembers of his cabinet in attendance ALEC's growing prestige could _ be judged not only by how much we influenced others, but by who was trying to influence us. Add the CEOs of Chevron, United Parcel Service, and Syntex Corporation, and it is clear that ALEC has the most dynamic publicprivate partnership in the nation. The presentation of the Thomas Jefferson Freedom Award to Jack Kemp capped the most exhilarating Annual Meeting in ALEC's history. WE held our National Leadership Summit on Tax and Fiscal Policy in San Francisco in May. More than 200 legislators participated in a series of workshops on policies to control excessive spending and create legislative mechanisms to instill fiscal responsibility in the budget process. The Washington Briefing and the National Orientation Conference had the highest attendance levels to date and included line-ups of speakers of national political leaders and renowned public policy experts. WITH the release ofAmerica's Protected Class: Why Excessive Public Employee Compensation is Bankrupting the States, ALEC started a firestorm of controversy by proving that state and local public employee compensation had risen dramatically faster than in the private sector. ALEC received coverage in media across the nation and editorial endorsements from the Wall Street Journal, Detroit News, Rocky Mountain News, and Washington Times among others. No study in ALEC' s history received as much public attention as America's Protected Class, thrusting ALEC's work to the forefront of budget debates across the nation. ALEC'S Health Care Task Force, under the leadership of Task Force Chair Representative Tom Wilder (GA) and Private Sector Chair Spencer Hathaway of Syntex Corporation, developed Keeping the Promise: A Comprehensive Health Care Plan for the States. The plan was eagerly accepted by legislators across the country, and by the end of the year hundreds of the model bills in the plan were introduced with a significant number of enactments. Keeping the Promise proved once again that the states are the "laboratories of democracy" where the innovative public policy solutions of the future are being developed in the states today. AND in 1992 it was ALEC members in Missouri, Alabama and Michigan which led to the ratification of the "Madison Pay Delay" amendment; the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution to be ratified in nearly 20 years. The Amendment, originally proposed by James Madison, requires that Members of Congress not receive any increase in compensation until an intervening election has occurred. The movement to ratify the Amendment grew out of a workshop at ALEC's 18th Annual Meeting in Seattle, promoted in FYL and then pushed by key ALEC members in the states. The ratification of the 27th Amendment confirmed that ALEC's presence is not only felt in every state capital, but inside the nation's capital as well. IT has been an honor to have been ALEC's National Chairman during 1992, and I am grateful for the support that the membership gave me and ALEC during the year.

W National Chairman AS ALEC's 1993 National Chairman I will have the honor and pleasure of serving during ALEC's 20th Anniversary. Those who founded ALEC in 1973 probably did not imagine that in just 20 short years ALEC would grow to become the most influential state level organization in the country. THOUGH we will be celebrating ALECs 20th Anniversary at this year's Annual Meeting in Traverse City, Mich., our focus should be on the future rather than the past for two very important reasons. FIRST, the states are now the cutting edge of innovative public policy, and only ALEC has the intellectual resources, political will, and dynamic public-private partnership needed to develop and advance a pro-free enterprise, pro-growth, limited government agenda. SECOND, and more importantly, the nation needs ALEC. The nation needs our strength, determination and courage as we face the potential of perhaps the greatest expansion in government intrusion into the economy and the lives of every American. In every area of government policy - from health care to the environment to the regulation of the economy - the forces of big government are flexing their muscles in order to advance their agenda. ALEC, with its bipartisan network of like minded legislators, cadre of nationally renowned public policy experts, and adynamic partnership with the private sector, can and will make the critical difference in the major political and policy battle looming on the horizon. AT ALEC we have an obligation to help set America back on course towards a world of limitless opportunity. It is a challenge 1 am confident that we can meet. IN 19931 look forward to working with all of the members of the ALEC as we continue to win the debate in the states and throughout the nation. Til 6281092 Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/nhyn0037 * 1992 Annual Report of the American Legislative Exchange Council IN order for America to succeed a simple truth must be recognized: free enterprise is the source of our freedom and wealth. SADLY, this truth is often forgotten in the development of public policy. Our nation's private sector is often viewed simply as a source of funds for the expansion of government programs or the cause of all that ails society. THE only public policy organization that views the private sector as an ally rather than an adversary is ALEC. The members of ALEC recognize the purpose of government should be to foster a healthy environment for the continued expansion of the private sector rather than the expansion of government. ALEC s pro-growth, low taxation, limited government agenda recognizes that it is individuals, released from the bounds of excessive government interference into their lives, which produce wealth. And it is only a society in which individuals are allowed to fully use their creativity, talent, initiative and determination to their own benefit, is truly free. IN 1992 ALEC made significant contributions to the cause of freedom and free enterprise by proposing a free market health care plan for the states, exposing excessive state and local public employee compensation, fighting excessive environmental regulation, and challenging the Congress to act responsibly by pushing for a federal Balanced Budget Amendment and the elimination of unfunded federal mandates on the states. ALEC success in these efforts is due in large part to ALEC's public private partnership. ALEC'S public-private partnership is a shining example of how both sectors can work in unison to serve the public purpose. It is a partnership that has been successful in winning the debate in the states across the America. It is a dynamic partnership that stands as a jewel in the nation's crown. AS Chairman of ALEC's Private Enterprise Board I would like to thank the private sector members of ALEC for their unwavering and generous support. An investment in ALEC is a sound investment. It is a safe investment. It is an important investment. And it is an investment that will pay dividends for America far into the future.

Responding to the problem of skyrocketing health care costs and the plight of the uninsured, ALEC's Health Care Task Force, chaired by Representative Tom Wilder (GA) and Spencer Hathaway of Syntex Corporation, approved a Comprehensive Health Care Plan.

The plan contains 35 model bills that provide reforms in the areas of health insurance, Medicaid, long-term care, medical liability, and rural health care. The Plan was released in book form in January 1993. Keeping the Promise: A Comprehensive Health Care Plan for the States, has now been In an historic effort to halt the proliferation of unfunded federal mandates, led by Representative Michael Nye (MI), ALEC members in 27 states have introduced, and Colorado and South Dakota have enacted, calls for a limited Constitutional Convention to write an amendment that would require Congress to include funding for federal mandates on the states. Unfunded mandates, which may cost as much $500 billion to the states, are de facto tax increases which throw state budgets into chaos and violate the Constitutional principles of federalism. SB \m 1*4*. 1 ( T M M Ma»UI» Following the example of Representative Hooper, the South Dakota legislature also enacted the act, and it was introduced in Arizona, Delaware, Georgia and Florida. "This was a ground breaking resolution in righting the imbalance between the states and the Congress," commented ALEC Executive Director T i l 6281100 Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/nhyn0037 1992 Annual Report of the American Legislative Exchange Council Samuel A. Brunelli, "'and wc expect that in the not too distant future regular consultations between the Congress and the states will be the norm rather than the exception." America's Protected Claw K\ >OM\S llu* Widtrniii" Puhlic-Prhate VA\ (iap America's Protected Class, (Feb. '92) and America's Protected Class //(Feb. '93) documented the widening public—private pay gap. The studies showed that from 1980 through 1990, average state and local public employee compensation increased $6.32 for every $1.00 increase in the private sector. If compensation for state and local employees had risen at the same rate as the private sector from 1980-'90, total compensation costs would have been $47.3 billion less ($514 per household) in 1990 alone. This "public pay premium" is one of the costs driving state and local tax increases; from 1980-90, states increased taxes by S29.9 billion, which is $17.3 billion less than the public pay premium, In other words, if state and local public employee compensation had just risen at the same rate as the private sector, these tax increases would not have been needed. However, as Samuel A. Brunelli, ALEC Executive Director, co-author of the studies along with Wendell Cox, ALEC's Director of StatePolicy and Legislation, said when releasing America's Protected Class II, 'The fundamental issue is fairness.

With wages and benefits making up 60% of state and local budgets, the explosion in public compensation makes tax increases inevitable." Wall Street Journal "The study by the council is titled "America's Protected Class." In Michigan, public employees have truly been privileged. What these figures mean is that Michigan, which is no longer a wealthy slate, still has a very well-paid governing class. But the well-being even of insulated government employees ultimately depends on the economic health of the private sector." The Detroit News "Now we know where all the greed was during the "Greed Decade." It was in the public sector." Syndicated Columnist Paul Craig Roberts "Bloated bureaucracies, protected from market forces by an endless stream of tax dollars, are bankrupting the states. The numbers cited above expose last year's record tax increase for what it was — a hijacking of private wealth from residents and businesses that served only to prolong the worst economic downturn in 60 years." Pittsburgh Business Times "As many people have suspected, excessive pay raises for state and local workers in the past decade have driven up taxes and budgets, at least according to a study by the American Legislative Exchange Council. So, no more of this public sector whining about pay parity — unless, of course, the intention is to buck for a pay cut." Rocky Mountain News Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/nhyn0037 Winning the Debate in the States The America's Protected Class papers have received wide-spread media coverage, from the Wall Street Journal to the San Francisco Chronicle, and almost unanimous support on the editorial pages of newspapers from coast to coast. The data in America's Protected Class //has also been cited in public employee compensation contractnegotiations across the nation, including Minnesota, Philadelphia, and San Jose. The Councils study entitled "America's Protected Class" arrived on my desk in the midst of a corporate downsizing and reorganization, and the timing of its arrival resulted in an even more significant impact upon me than would otherwise have been the case. The study adroitly displays facts and figures which some of us have indirectly sensed, in a disorganized way, for many years. One can only ask the question: How can the situation begin to reverse itself so that the relationship between the "protected class" and the "unprotected class" once again fall in a more historical and healthy equilibrium. -Mr. Phillip J. Franks Boehringer Ingelheim Corporation Further analysis, indicates that "America's Protected Class" has cost the nation an additional $280 billion in economic growth in 1990 alone. Based on the analysis of Dr. Richard Vedder's (an advisor to ALECs Tax & Fiscal Policy Task Force) work in the "Economic Impact of Government Spending," published by the National Center for Policy Analysis, the total cost to the nation of excess spending by state and local governments was more than $353 billion by 1990 an average loss of more than $ 1,400 for every man, woman and child in the U.S. Of this, $280 billion is attributable to the "public pay premium." No other studies in the history of ALEC have received the acclaim or exposure of the America's Protected Class papers, and no issue has put ALEC larger on the map. \\ \ i i t .id- nu < h;iri>i' to Kalih iht \I;I(HMHI l*a\ IK'la\ ^iiunilnu-nt The imminent ratification of the amendment became apparent when Alabama and Missouri acted on May 5th. "It was an honor to be able to reach across 203 years of history and shakehands with one of our Founding Fathers, James Madison, and help his vision come true," said Representative Perry Hooper Jr., ALEC Alabama State Chairman, who, along with Representative Bob Mckee, pushed the amendment on to the floor where it quickly passed 65-0. In Jefferson City, MO, ALEC member Senator Pat Danner ushered the amendment through the ratification process, setting the stage for Michigan's historic vote. No law varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives shall take effect, until an election of Representative shall have intervened. When James Madison wrote his proposed one-sentence, 24-word constitutional amendment on congressional pay in 1789, he probably did not suspect that it would take 203 years for it to be ratified. Yet on May 7th, the Michigan legislature, ledby ALEC member Senator John Kelly, became the 38th state to ratify the "pay delay" amendment, winning a race with legislators in New Jersey who were attempting to become the state that put the amendment over. The amendment was one of the set of 12 amendments which were sent to the states for ratification immediately after the Constitution was adopted; ten were ratified, becoming the Bill of Rights. Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/nhyn0037 ALEC began pushing the Madison Amendmentin October, 1991 when it published a front page story in FI7, titled "James Madison's Recipe for Curbing the Appetite of Congress." The story was inspired by a discussion at ALECs Annual Meeting in Seattle, during a workshop on Article V of the Constitution, which sets forth the process by which state legislatures amendtheConstitution. Congressman John Boehner (R-OH), a former ALEC member and the leader of a group of freshman Congressmen pushing for the amendment, later authored a guest commentary in the February 3rd edition of FYI, encouraging state legislators to vote for ratification. 1992 Annual Report of the American Legislative Exchange Council ALEC'S MEETING AM) CONFERENCES Bringing Leaders log ether Washington Kriufiiig Fvhruun 20-21. 1W2 The annual Washington Briefing provides ALEC legislative and private sector leaders an unparalleled opportunity to meet with key Members of Congress, Administration officials, and Cabinet Officers, to discuss the issues facing the nation.

The forgotten man of the tax and spend debate is the taxpayer. One of the accomplishments of this meeting was that we were able to develop policies that place the taxpayer - the men, women and families who foot the bill - at the center of the debate. They have been forgotten for far too long. -Representative Joe Petrilli Delaware Summit Chairman Budget reform has become an economic and moral imperative. It is an economic imperative because the record tax increases of the last two years, which now total more than $29 billion, are strangling our economy. It is a moral imperative because we are irresponsibly spending future generations into a life of oppressive taxation, poverty and economic decline. -Representative Fred C Noye, Pennsylvania 1992 National Chairman Higher taxes crowd out productive private sector activity and reduce the spirit of enterprise.

In the past these fiscal rules have significantly constrained the growth of state government. However, over the last decade these state fiscal rules have been eroded. State governments have expanded at a rapid rate in spite of these fiscal rules. As a result citizens also view state government as too big, too expensive, and too intrusive in our daily lives* -Dr. Barry Poulson University of Colorado Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/nhyn0037 1992 Annual Report of the American Legislative Exchange Council lc)lh \nnuzil \k'ftiiii> Reaching \e\v Heights Colorado Springs AuiiustS-^ 1992 ALECs premier event, the Annual Meeting brings together each year nearly 2,000 state legislators, senior corporate executives, government officials, public policy experts, and legislative staff from all 50 states.

Nelson with Transportation Secretary Andrew Card The fact is pharmaceutical research is a crapshoot We start with 6,000 new chemical compounds that we've discovered and we winnow these down to six exciting prospects. It takes us ten to twelve years to bring each of those six products to the market at a cost of $230 million each. Ultimately, only one of those six reaches the H•** marketplace. We can't continue to expend the efforts we are in research, and not receive recognition of the value of what we're doing and the cost of performing the job well.

Raggio (Nevada) and Executive Director Samuel A. Brunelli celebrate the success of the 1992 Annual Meeting by signifying ALEC's standing as the premier state public policy organization in the nation. The idea in America of giving middle- and low-income families more of the same choices of all schools that families with money already have as a way of changing the schools — and then giving them the dollars that make those changes — now, that's a compelling idea. It's hard to be against that in this country. -Education Secretary Lamar Alexander The Bible says, "Whatpropheteth a man to gain the world and lose his soul?,T Ladies and gentlemen, what would it propheteth America to gain the world for freedom and lose our soul at home? The soul of America is in ourfamilies. The soul of America is in our inner cities. The soul of America is in how we treat the poor. The soul of America is in how we treat people who have been left out of this private property-based system. ALEC is bringing to America a chance to regain and recapture the soul of America, to allow every single American man or woman, irrespective of their ethnic background, irrespective of their color, a chance to be a part of the greatest democracy, the greatest freedom, the greatest system on the face of the earth.

REPORT Winning Support from Around the Nation ALEC's mission is to win the public policy debate in every state capitaland across the nation. ALEC can only achieve its mis sion if it has the necessary financial resources and support. In that regard, 1992 was a banner year! Today, ALEC has achieved a level of financial security that was unimaginable just a few years ago. We ended 1992 with a positive fund balance of $585,000, with total assets exceeding $1.1 million. Our success this year has been due in large part to the generous contributions and active support of the corporations, businesses, and foundations who joined us to advance policies which promote free markets, economic growth, and individual liberty. ALEC's legislative membership has doubled, now totallingnearly 2,500. During the same period, private sectormembership has grown by a third, now topping 250businesses, corporations and foundations actively supporting ALEC's efforts in the states. One of the reasons ALEC has garneredsuch overwhelming support is that we have carefully targeted our resources to our most important activities. With total expenses of $3.8 million, a total of $3 million, or 78 percent, was spent on our meetings, task force activities, and publications, which form the heart of our policy and legislative operations. We have proven that an investment in ALEC produces high returns. No other organization in the nation can match ALEC s combination of innovative ideas and legislative activity at the state level. The ALEC Foundation is a new institution dedicated to developing and supporting our efforts in the states. The ALEC Foundation received approval of its tax-exempt status early in 1992, and promises to be a powerful resource to advance the ALEC agenda into the next century. In the last five years ALEC has experienced phenomenal growth during a period when many other public policy organizations have seen a decline in their support. Annual revenues more than doubled between 1988 and 1992, growing from just under $1.5 million to $3,9 million.
