Mr. Katz:

As an investor with a great deal in the market, both in equities and mutual 
funds, I urge you to increase corporate accountability. The confidence of the 
average and the institutional investor has been heavily, if not permanently, 
damaged by the crony capitalism scandals and the bribery of politicians. All 
was made worse by the tenure of Harvey Pitt. 

 Not enough is being done by the federal government to attempt to rectify 
this. The proposed rule changes will help. Mutual funds should disclose their 
proxy voting policies and their votes. Proxy voting by investment advisors 
should also be public information.
