To Whom it may concern:

I am writing in support of the proposed reform of proxy voting policies,
procedures and voting records by mutual funds (File No. S7-36-02).

This new rule would make transparent mutual fund management strategies,
improve corporate governance, and create greater social and environmental
responsibility among corporations.  Mutual fund managers would have to
publicly disclose their proxy voting records, which means that they will
have to vote according to their shareholders', not the corporate
officers', best interest.  This new rule is especially important now
since investors' confidence in large corporations (and politicians, for
that matter) is at an all-time low.

I urge you to enact this rule.

Sincerely,

Jeff Jorgensen
