Subject: Mutual Fund Votes


12/5/2002

I understand the SEC is considering requiring mutual funds to disclose
their voting records on shares of stock which they hold for clients.

I urge the SEC to create and enforce this rule.  As a mutual fund owner
also owner of stock in various corporations I don't see why this kind of
secrecy is needed.

A mutual fund should include a list of its voting activities for the 
its ten largest equity holdings in its annual report.

As we watch our money being siphoned off by fat-cat corporate bums and
thieves who call themselves management, I keep wondering what you're
doing.  Obviously not much.

Yours truly
