Subject: Mutual Fund Proxy Voting Disclosure

Mr. Jonathan G. Katz 

Secretary 

Securities and Exchange Commission

450 Fifth Sreet, NW

Washington, DC 20549-0609

Re: File No. S7-36-02

Dear Secretary Katz:

In this new era of better public information, I would strongly urge for full 
proxy voting disclosure in the mutual fund industry. Being denied such knowledge, 
I, as a trustee, would have conflicting decisions about the possibility of a 
company which may vote against the better interests of fund participants. 


Working in the best interest of all fund participants is the prudent man rule 
and the fiduciary responsibility of all concerned.

Sincerely,

Joseph T. Gallagher 

Trustee 

Local #6 Asbestos Workers Annuity Fund
