Subject: proxy voting

I strongly urge the SEC to adopt the proposed new rule that would 
require mutual funds to report their proxy voting policies, 
procedures, and voting records.  It's time to demystify the 
investment process and give investors all the necessary information 
to invest in mutual funds that will suit their needs.
