 I  oppose  rule S7-25-97.  This proposed rule would prevent many motions
and information on issues including fair employment practices (such as sex 
and race
discrimination and harassment) from being brought to stockholders' 
attention.  The rule would also prevent questions on gender balancing 
boards, the use of child labor, and other ways that employees, 
investors and customers force corporations to clean up their acts when 
they have refused to act on their own.
     
 I and *many* other women will sell *all our stock* if this passes.
