From: GCIU Local 14-M [gciu@gciulocal14m.org] Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2002 8:26 AM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Cc: mgarland@aflcio.org Subject: Reference File No. S7-36-02 Reference File No. S7-36-02 Subject: Mutual Fund Proxy Voting Disclosure I am writing in support of the SEC's proposed rule to require mutual fund companies to disclose how they vote on corporate proxy resolutions. I am concerned that in the light of Enron, Tyco and Arthur Anderson that there are other issues still outstanding that could involve scandals. I believe that disclosure will help me know whether the manager of my mutual fund is acting in a manner that reflects my wishes I own mutual funds, I am a trustee on three pension funds, and we must be able to act and invest with all the information possible. Thank you. Kurt Freeman President GCIU Local 14-M
