Mr. Arthur Levitt, Chairman
     
Dear Mr. Levitt
     
In regards to the proposed new rule S7-25-97, I would like you to 
encourage you NOT to implement this new rule.
The communication between the shareholders and the management of the 
company needs to be encouraged and not impared. With the many different 
stocks I have owned over many years, it seems the present rule has not 
impared the management to conduct its business or impose an undue cost 
to publish share holders proposals.
     
Respectfully, Arthur Dietrich, Medina, WA 98039
