RE:  Debate on new rule to ban stockholder initiatives at company meetings. 

I oppose this new rule.  It is difficult enough now for individual 
stockholders to gain a hearing at large companies, either through stockholder meetings 
or approaching Board members.   It is more difficult all the time to access 
accurate information on Boards and financial statements.  Do not vote to 
restrict individual investors even further by implementing S7-25-97.  This 
would be an anti-democratic regulation which would end up further limiting 
interaction of women and minority stockholders at company meetings.  
     
     Please vote down S7-25-97.  Thank you for your attention to this matter.
