Subject: Reconsideration of Conflict Minerals Rule Implementation
From: Diane Goetz

March 14, 2017

SEC Action Chairman Michael S. Piwowar

Dear SEC Action Chairman Piwowar,

The SEC's 2012 conflict minerals rule has had a huge impact on endangered wildlife such as the Grauer's gorilla. It has still allowed American companies to have more than 200 companies to source from. You have an important opportunity to allow critically endangered wildlife the chance to survive. Please do not undo the good you have done. I urge you to continue to implement the Conflict Minerals Rule and to
reject efforts to weaken it.
Sincerely,
Diane Goetz

Sincerely,

Diane Goetz
