From: JMRach@aol.com Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 9:14 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: S7 36 02 --Proxy Voting Policies I support this rule requiring registered management Investment companies to tell those who own mutual funds how they have voted on company policies. at annual stockholders meetings. I believe that stock option packages and CEO compensation are too high, and I vote my own stocks against them. However I believe that often these measures would not pass unless mutual funds and large institutional holders voted for them. As the owner of ten mutual funds, I believe I am entitled to know how investment companies are voting on these and other matters. Sincerely, Marjorie Rachlin, Washington DC 20008
