Dear Mr. Arthur Levitt,
     
I am a stockholder who holds about 75 percent of his wealth in mutual funds and 
other instruments.  I am also active in the meetings of some of the companies 
whose stock I own.  I am very strongly opposed to S7-25-97 because it prevents 
the exercise of free speech at forums where company policy and practices may be 
subjected to review.  I do not consider my stock and fund holdings to be simply 
engines to generate my bottom line.  I consider them also from an ethical 
viewpoint, and I want very much to be able at stockholder meetings to bring to 
the attention of my companies certain practices that have an impact on the 
health and well being of children, women, minorities, and so on.
     
Please note my opposition to S7-25-97 and move against it.


James Lee
