Mr. Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary
Securities and Exchange Commission
450 Fifth Street NW,
Washington, DC 20549-0609 

Dear Secretary Katz: 

I am writing in support of the Securities and Exchange Commission's recently 
proposed rules regarding proxy voting disclosure by mutual funds and investment 
advisers, File Numbers S7-36-02 and S7-38-02. 

As a mutual fund investor, I support the Commission for requiring that funds and 
advisers disclose their actual votes, in addition to their guidelines and procedures. 
I disagree with those who say that mutual fund investors do not want to review their 
funds' voting records, and will not use this information to inform their investment 
decisions. Voting guidelines provide valuable information, but voting records will 
provide true accountability. 

Thank for taking this important step toward restoring investor confidence in the markets. 

Sincerely, Joanne L. Matson
