Greetings,

I support the proposed rules regarding shareholder access to the proxy 
voting records of mutual funds.  Proxies are an important tool for 
shareholds to protect their interests in the companies they invest in.  
As such mutual funds should be required to disclose how they vote on 
these issues.

Regards,
