Subject: Requirement that Mutual Fund managers notify investors of their
proxy votes

We urgently request that your governing body require Mutual Fund Managers to
notify investors in those funds of how they voted proxys.  My wife & I hold
a fairly substantial number of shares on both mutual stock & mutual bond
funds & actively vote our proxys.  We frequently vote against, what we
consider to be, excessive compensation of directors & officers.  We want to
know the stand of fund managers.

Thank you,

Robert & JoAnne Martin
