I strongly support the SEC's proposed rule to require mutual fund 
companies to disclose how they vote proxies on behalf of investors.

It seems to me also important to require mutual fund managers to 
reveal potential conflicts of interest, for example, where the mutual 
fund holds or its manager manages significant assets of the company 
as in 401k or other retirement funds.
