Subject: File No. S7-36-02...Mutual Fund Proxies

It is time to start opening up the secrecy in mutual funds!
Mutual fund management seems to be interested in keeping
their proxy votes secret.  WHY?  Could it be there is a
significant opportunity for conflict of interest on the part
of mutual fund managers?  One only has to look at Global
Crossing, Enron, and Worldcom to understand how dangerous it
is for funds to be allowed to maitain secrecy.

I am requesting as a taxpayer and mutual fund owner that the
SEC require that mutual funds tell its shareholders how they
voted their proxies.
