From: Manfred Braig [manfredandheidi@earthlink.net] Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 7:00 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: Attention: J. G. Katz --- Manfred Braig --- manfredandheidi@earthlink.net --- EarthLink: It's your Internet. Dear Mr. Katz : Ref: File No. S7-36-02 I want to make sure, that you include in the forthcoming bill that Mutual Funds and registered Investment Advisers must disclose how they vote on key issues during the annual shareholder meetings, since they invest our money . They also must disclose if there is a conflict of interest. As you know they earn lucrative fees by managing 401 ( k) plans. Please also make sure that the little guy, has easy access to get the proxy voting record. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Have a great day, Manfred H. Braig Manfred & Heidi Braig 500 Ocean Trail Way, Suite 302 Jupiter, Florida, 33477 U.S.A. Phone / Fax : 561-747-2854 E-mail : manfredandheidi@earthlink.net
