Gentlemen:

I strongly urge the adoption of the rule requiring investment management 
companies to make available to the public information about how they vote 
corporate proxies.

In the areas of stock option programs, directors' tenure, management 
compensation and mergers and acquisitions there are clearly potential 
conflicts of interest where a management company may seek or seek to 
maintain a business relationship with a corporate investee.

Concerned investors should have access to knowledge of how their investment 
representatives vote.

Thank you.
