Subject: S7-25-97 Date: 11/11/97 4:06 PM I strongly urge you reconsider the new SEC rule package. I am concerned about the limits it will place on shareholder activism. It is my firm conviction that shareholders have the right and obligation to give input and sponsor resolutions regarding the social, economic, and environmental effects of the corporations they own.
