To whom it may concern:

I am a citizen in Louisville, KY.
I support the efforts of the SEC that is working hard to address the Climate-Related Disclosures for investors.

If nothing else, let me say Thank You to the SEC groups who are working to clarify this issue for investors.
In my experience with others in my community, this is something that is of concern to investors and citizens alike.
There have been several discussions that I have participated in, where people have expressed concern that they were unaware that the funds they were investing in may have or were contributing to things that were detrimental to our environment or may hurt people or residents.

I am not someone with money active in stocks or trading, but as someone who has previously worked in benefits administration including pensions, I very much care about the affect this issue has on our greater economy, and the people who are working to protect all of us through the changes brought forth, especially since the Pandemic began in 2019.

I trust you will make the right decision.  This is very challenging for everyone to solve and clarify, and people have worked hard from all angles for decades to address many of the parts of this transition that we are living today.  So many really do care to invest in technology and businesses that walk the walk towards environmental stewardship, and no one of us can solve this problem alone.

You may contact me for further comment if it might be helpful to you,
And again, Thank you for your work to address and clarify this issue.

Sincerely,

Bevin Wathen
