From: shirley [stardust@friend.ly.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2002 8:33 AM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: File No. S7-36-02 Dear SEC Secretary, We agree with the Commission that the time has come to require mutual funds to disclose their proxy voting policies and procedures and actual voting records. This should be done semi-annually and made easily available to investors. The end result will restore confidence in financial markets and in the long run will benefit mutual funds. Lose the investors' trust, and it will take much longer to earn back that trust then it did to lose it. Shirley and Pat O'Donnell --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by friend.ly.net.]
