Re:	Petition for Rulemaking (SEC File No. 4-461) 

Please be advised that The Catholic Funds favors the idea that shareholders be 
given the opportunity to nominate director candidates by using simplified 
shareholder resolutions. 

We oppose any arbitrary restrictions on access to the ballot by requiring that 
shareholders own 3, 5 or 10% of the shares of a company.  This would effectively 
kill the ability for most shareholders to nominate directors. 

Sincerely, 

Daniel J. Steininger
Chairman, The Catholic Funds
