MEETING OF JANUARY 25, 1979
The Honorable Adriano Amaral of the Brazilian
Embassy was our speaker in January.
He said that a country is not always ready to be
a democracy. Brazil is striving toward that goal,
but neither the level of education, nor the level
of economic development is high enough to
support it. At present, restrictions on personal
freedoms are necessary to control that large
country and populace. Brazil is not in a position
to be concerned about world opinion on this
point; but must do what it thinks is best for
Brazil.

Our speaker for the March meeting will be
Mr. Ted D. Toubeneck - Director, International
Finance, Rockwell International. Mr. Toubeneck
will speak on multinational corporations.
