Subject: S7-25-97 Author: Chris Matthews at Internet Date: 11/24/97 5:30 AM Jonathan Katz, Secretary Security and Exchange Commission Dear Mr. Katz: I am writing to urge you to stop the new proposed rules (S7-25-97). This destroys the ability of almost all shareholders to participate in a responsible shareholder resolution process. I feel very strongly about this because of my interest in holding companies accountable.Please stop these rules from going forward. Thank you, Chris Matthews 1218 Kearney St., NE Washington, DC 20017
