Chairman Leavitt of SEC
     
I am appalled to know that the SEC is considering limiting the rights of 
individual shareholders of corporations.  Who owns these companies?  I 
know the influence of corporations and pension plans and the like are 
mighty forces with which to contend, However, inividuals managing their 
own stock should continue to enjoy the rights of ownership for each vote 
they hold.
     
As individual owners we must have the right to make our views known, and 
influence business direction to insure corporate responsibility. Profit 
with responsibility is as important as government with responsibility.  
And since you are a representitive of the people who depend upon you to 
direct policy which insures individual freedoms in the investment 
marketplace, I want you to know that I object to any regulations that 
will undermine the rights of individual shareholders.
