Katz Secretary Securities and Exchange Commission 450 Fifth Street, NW Washington, DC 20549-0609 Re: Release No. 34-47778, File No. S7-10-03 Dear Mr. Katz, As an individual investor, corporate attorney, a former trustee/President of the Los Angeles Fire and Police Pension Board and recent past co-chair of the Council of Institutional Investors, I applaud your consideration of the proxy rules and related regulations. These rules and regulations go to the heart of the efficient operation of the marketplace and investor protections. Your review and appropriate revision of these rules is critical to both correction of the market problems so apparent over the last few years and the restoration of investor confidence in the market. Gay L. Harwin, Esquire
