From: Claire Noonan [claire@cta-usa.org] Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 11:05 AM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: S7-36-02 Dear Secretary Katz, I would like to register my support for the adoption of S7-36-02 and S7-38-02, rules governing disclosure of proxy voting policies and records by mutual fund managers. The accountability of fund managers to their investors should be a fundamental principle of our business practices. Transparent decision-making is essential for the creation of a relationship of trust between investors and management. I urge you to adopt these common sense rules.
