I am expressing my opposition to rule S7-25-97.  I oppose any 
restrictions that would prevent stockholder initiatives from being 
deliberated and voted upon at open stockholder meetings.  I am 
especially concerned with any stockholder motions that affect women 
including employment practices (e.g., race and sex discrimination and 
harassment), gender balancing boards, and use of child labor.  No rules 
should restrict employees, investors, and customers' feedback to 
corporations when they have not acted responsibly on their own.
