I am strongly in favor of this proposed rule.

I recently learned that a mutual fund I owned shares
in was acting in a way that I strongly disagreed with.
 I had never had any communications from the company
about their policies, but only learned about their
activity by stumbling across a newspaper article. 
When I did research into other funds to move my money
into, I soon realized that there was no way for me to
know whether any of these funds were voting proxies in
ways that I supported.

Currently, we can only judge mutual funds by their
returns.  Before I invest in a fund, I would like to
know their policies in proxy voting, and to be able to
see their voting record.

In summary, I strongly support the disclosure of proxy
voting policies and proxy voting records by registered

management investment companies.

Sincerely,
Harrison Wein
