Subject: Petition for Rulemaking (SEC File No. 4-461)

Mr. Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
450 Fifth Street, N.W.
Washington, DC 20549



Dear Mr. Katz:

I want to direct your attention to the Rulemaking Petition proposed by 
The Committee of Concerned Shareholders and James McRitchie (SEC File 
No. 4-461). It suggests the ONLY way to bring our democratic traditions 
into the corporate election process, and eliminate the rubber stamp 
dictatorships that result from the present system of electing directors.

Please be forward-looking and demonstrate true character in helping us 
to break down virtual governing monopolies in corporate America. 


Sincerely,
 
Mark Hartelt
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
