Dear SEC Secretary Mr. Jonathan G. Katz,

Re: File No. S7-36-02 

Dear Mr. Katz: 

I am writing to express my support for the SEC's proposed
rule (S7-36-02) to require mutual funds to disclose
their proxy voting policies and, their proxy voting
decisions.  

Mutual fund companies have the power to influence corporate
behavior in positive and negative ways.  

I want my mutual fund company to cast its proxy votes
to protect my interests and I feel I have a right to
know how such votes are cast by those to whom I entrust
my savings. 

Requiring mutual funds to disclose their proxy votes
in an easily accessible format is the only way that
investors can ensure that Fidelity and other mutual
fund companies exercise their proxy voting authority
to promote our interests rather than to boost their
own bottom line. 

I urge SEC to adopt its proposed rule. 



Sincerely,

Lola Rogers
