From: sdpotter66@MSN.com Sent: Sunday, November 10, 2002 2:49 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: File No. S7-36-02 Dear SEC Secretary, The SEC's proposed rule to require mutual fund companies to disclose how they vote on corporate proxy resolutions,is essential. Confidence in the investment community is at an all time low, and this rule will at least help restore that confidence. As an owner of several mutual funds, I am entitled to know how my proxy is being voted. I urge the SEC to vote in favor of the proposed proxy voting rule. S.Don Potter State Senator Emeritus, Michigan Steven Potter 907 70th Drive East Sarasota, FL 34243-1223
