Dear SEC:

As a shareholder of Fidelity and American Funds mutual funds, I URGE YOU TO
ADOPT the proposed rule that would require mutual funds to disclose their
proxy votes. As a mutual fund investor, I should have a right to know how my
mutual funds are voting on key corporate proxy resolutions, whatever the
issue may be.

One of the basic requirements of an efficient and fair market is access to
full and open information by consumers, suppliers, and investors. Without
access to information, investors such as myself cannot make informed
decisions about where to direct our assets. Without full information, the
markets cannot adjust to demands by consumers and investors such as me.
Please adopt this rule so that the markets can work efficiently and fairly.

Sincerely,

Scott Ehlers
