From: Daniel Verinder [firefly@planet-save.com] Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 5:52 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: File No. S7-36-02 As an investor in a mutual fund, I want to express my hopes that you will put into effect the proxy voting disclosure requirements being proposed in File No. S7-36-02. Awareness of how a mutual fund votes by proxy can often be material to an investor's financial decisions, increasing one's awareness of behavior that could be of benefit or detriment one's investment goals. As such, a mutual fund ought to be required to provide such information to its investors. Regardless of your final decision, though, let me thank you for the consideration given to this matter, for that alone is a dramtic step in the right direction.
