Dear SEC Secretary,

I support the SEC's proposed rule to require mutual fund companies to disclose 
how they vote on corporate proxy resolutions. In the absence of public disclosure 
there is no way for me to know whether the manager of my mutual fund is acting in 
a manner that reflects my wishes on issues that matter to me. Potential conflicts 
of interest must be  exposed, or in light of the recent scandals secrecy will drive 
small investors out of the financial markets.
