To:  SEC Commissioner:

I would like to be included in the comments, Form Letter type E, in
agreeing with the proposed rule that would require Mutual Fund
Managers to tell their shareholders how they voted on the questions
proposed in their Proxy statements.

It is very important that the various Funds' shareholders (read:
owners) know whether the Portfolio Manager (which may very well be an
oxymoron) has voted in their best interest . If that turns out not to
be the case, his immediate dismissal is called for by the specific
Investment Company.

Note: It is important to add that it is incumbeent on the shareholders
to be sufficiently versed in the Fund's policies to make a meaningful
informed decision on the Portfolio Manager's voting.
