From: Elphiker@aol.com Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 11:42 AM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: File # S7-36-02 & #S7-38-02 Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary Security & Exchange Commission 450 Fifth Street, NW Washington, DC 20549-0609 I am writing to urge you to adopt the proposed rule, File No. S7-36-02 and S7-38-02, that would require mutual funds to disclose how they vote on key issues during the annual meetings held by the companies in which they hold stock. I am a private investor and belong to a socially responsible investment club. I would welcome more transparency. Sincerely, Ellie Pearson 1421 SE Division Portland, OR 97202-1139
