RE:  File No. 57-36-02

The SEC must take action to protect and restore individual small-time investors'
confidence in the stock market.  Otherwise, we will abandon the market in
droves.

I support the proposal to require mutual funds to publicly disclose proxy votes.

I also believe that fund managers must publicly disclose possible conflicts of
interest regarding management fees for 401(k) and other retirement plans for
companies at which they vote investors' proxies.  This disclosure must be made
available on the internet and include the following information:

    a.  Subject of the vote/proxy.

    b.  Recommendation of the company management.

    c.  How the proxy was voted.

    d.  Any business relationship between the mutual fund and the company.
