The vitality of the business sector is an index of the general health of a free society. The importance of capitalism and the free enterprise system is a tenet of the ethos of the United States. Six addresses which promote this theme are presented as well as a list of the members of the honorary sponsoring committee honoring Donald Rumsfeld. The addresses are: "Global Validity of the American Experience" (Donald Rumsfeld), "How Business Promotes Freedom" (Ronald Reagan), "Democratic Capitalism as a Moral Force" (William E. Simon), "Ideas Shape Every Generation" (Irving Kristol), "Government Must Help Business Flourish" (Richard Cheney), and "Business Heroes Are Risk-Takers" (Frank Shakespeare). (BZ)
