I am in favor of the proposed rule regarding Funds and investment advisers to 
disclose how they vote proxies at shareholders meetings.  I believe the rule 
should be further strengthened by requiring those voting proxies on behalf of 
investors to disclose any conflict of interest.  All information should be 
made easily available to investors and the press.
