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. As a mutual fund investor, I feel it is important that I know how my fund managers are voting, and whether they are acting in my best interest. In addition, I believe that this law will make the funds more accountable for their actions. I invest in mutual funds because I do not have the time to monitor an entire portfolio personally. However, just because I give my money to these folks to invest does not mean that I don't care where or how it's spent. I do care that my money is not used to destroy the environment or exploit workers, for example. Thus, it is imperative that I am able to review the proxy votes of my funds. Thank you for this period of comment. I hope the rule passes and we add this layer of accountability to our system of investing. Sincerely Jennifer Feller
