Katz, Secretary Securities and Exchange Commission 450 Fifth Street NW, Washington, DC 20549-0609 Dear Secretary Katz: I strongly believe that the SEC should require mutual funds and investment advisers to disclose proxy votes. These are proposed rules S7-36-02 and S7-38-02. I invest through mutual funds, and I strongly support these proposed rules. Thank you for this opportunity to comment on the proposed rules, and for taking these important steps toward restoring investor confidence in the markets. Sincerely, Jeremy Bratt
