Dear Chairman Leavitt:
     
I am greatly distressed to learn about this rule change which seems 
designed to make it more difficult for shareholders of a corporation to 
challenge its anti-social behavior. As corporations get ever larger, 
they are becoming less accountable to shareholders and less accountable 
to the larger society. It is crucial that shareholders be able to reign 
in irresponsible and anti-social corporate behavior.
     
I urge you to maintain the current rules concerning number of shares 
required to sponsor a shareholder resolution and the number of shares 
voted to bring the resolution back for reconsideration.
