Jonathan Katz, Secretary
Securities and Exchange Commission
     
 Mr. Katz: 
     
  The SEC's new proposed rules must not go forward (S7-25-97). These
rules essentially destroy the rights of American shareholders to 
participate in forming policy for the companies whose shares they own.  
     
     
     Stop these rules. Reverse Cracker Barrel but allow the existing
rules to stand or develop rules that will protect shareholder's rights.
     
            Sincerely,
     
            John F. Wozniak
            1841 7th Av. N.
