Subject: rule S7-25-97 (the stockholder gag rule)

Dear Mr. Arthur Levitt:
     
I strongly oppose the proposed rule S7-25-97, known as the stockholder gag 
rule. I consider it my right (and every stockholder's right) to bring up 
any and all issues of concern to me at a stockholders' meeting of a company 
in which I have invested.  Such meetings were designed to make management 
accountable to its owners.  To limit the scope of such discussions to that 
with which the management feels comfortable defeats the purpose.  
     
The proper alternative available to companies which do not wish to address 
certain of its shareholders' concerns is to buy back their shares at a fair 
market value.
     
Sincerely,
