I think that mutual fund votes on corporate matters should be made 
public including votes on directors. Recent disclosures merely confirm 
long existing problems of lack of stockholder oversight.Mutual funds 
are in a far better position than individual shareholders to exercise 
meaningful oversight on behalf of their own shareholders. I think the 
prposed rule would encourage mutual funds to become more active to the 
benefit of both their own sharehlders and the shareholders of the 
corporations whose shares they own.

Thank you.
