Date: 06/29/2000 9:02 AM Subject: "File No. S7-09-00" Please pass this rule so that investors such as myself would be able to adequately compare mutual funds by being told what the after-tax yield is. I have been investing in mutual funds for the past 15 years and, until recently, did not understand the difference in the various funds after-tax yield. My husband and I are seniors and would have invested differently had we known. Thank you Ann Perlysky
