Memo to the SEC, 

As a staff member representing 1.3 million beneficiaries, I ask that you 
approve the Open Access Rule with the recommendations and modifications 
cited in CalPERS official written response.  We applaud your courage in 
forging ahead with this rule.  It is perhaps the most important rule the 
SEC has put forth for the investing public in decades.

Thank you,
