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. Greater transparency in all financial transactions involving the management in trust of investors' monies will benefit the entire system. Sincerely, Rodd Pemble
