From: Doctor [mailto:emass123@usa.net] Sent: Friday, March 19, 2004 3:58 PM To: 'chairmanoffice@sec.gov' Subject: Mutual Fund Rules Dear Mr. Donaldson, As a small investor, I ask you to push for more stringent rules on the Mutual Fund industry to prevent the scandalous misuse of investor funds over the past decade. Investor confidence is of major importance to the economic strength of the country and for the safety of the savings and retirement programs of millions of citizens. Sincerely yours, William C. Johnson, San Mateo County, CA
