Mr. Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary
Securities and Exchange Commission
450 Fifth Street NW,
Washington, DC 20549-0609 

Dear Secretary Katz: 

I am writing in support of the Securities and Exchange Commission's recently 
proposed rules regarding proxy voting disclosure by mutual funds and investment 
advisers, File Numbers S7-36-02 and S7-38-02. As a mutual fund investor, I 
congratulate the Commission for instituting meaningful disclosure that will 
surely bolster confidence in the equity markets, and strongly support the 
recommendations set forth in these proposed rules. 

The rules are a major step forward in preventing abusive Management practices 
within corporations, especially where mutual funds had countenanced such practices 
in the past. 

Sincerely, 

David R. Sokol (individual investor) 516 West Bell Houston TX 77019David Sokol
