Subject: Re Business Roundtable and Shareholder Nominations

As usual, the CEO's want to control their feifdoms. I support shareholder 
nominations for positions and initiatives 100%. The reason we are always in 
trouble is that board members are too closely linked to management i.e. 
Adelphia, Schnitzer Steel, Enron, Worldcom, et cetera ad infinitum, including 
the board of the NYSE. This has to stop. These guys dont own my shares - I own 
them and if I detect misbehavior or gross waste or criminal activity, I expect 
my mutual fund company or if necessary, my attorney to have opportunity for me 
to kick someone off the board and nominate another person. I was greatly 
heartened to note in yesterdays WSJournal that Ken Lay is now subject to suit(s) 
by his former employees. Frankly, I look forward to seeing him picking garbage 
from the containers on the streets of Houston after the shareholder employees 
finish with him. Tell these roundtable puppies to take their problems back to 
work, get busy on making and selling products so that I can earn some return on 
my investments.
