From: John Cochran [johnh@cochranlaw.com] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 8:35 AM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: Changes in mutual fund reporting (S7-51-02) After reading the article in today's WSJ, part of which dealt with the expense of quarterly disclosure, I would add a provision that would allow companies to post their disclosure on website or transmit the disclosure via email. I would also allow fund holders to waive receipt of the paper disclosure by agreeing to receive the disclosure electronically. John H.
