Mr. Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary
Securities and Exchange Commission
450 Fifth Street NW, 
Washington, DC 20549-0609

Dear Secretary Katz:

I am writing in support of the Security and Exchange Commission's recently 
proposed rules regarding proxy voting guidelines and vote disclosure by 
mutual funds and investment advisers, File Numbers S7-36-02 and S7-38-02. 
I congratulate the agency for instituting meaningful disclosure that will 
surely bolster confidence in the equity markets, and strongly support the 
recommendations set forth in these proposed rules.

I am an individual investor and have invested my retirement money in two 
mutual funds with different companies. Only one company tells me how they 
vote their proxies. If they are investing my money, they should tell me how 
they plan to or did vote the proxies. Even better would be if they asked 
the investors how they wanted the proxies voted. But disclosure is a very 
good step.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed rules.

Sincerely,<br>
Andrew Cameron<br>
