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

Mr. Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
450 Fifth Street, N.W.
Washington, DC 20549



Dear Mr. Katz:

I would like to call your attention to the Rulemaking Petition proposed
by The Committee of Concerned Shareholders and James McRitchie. This
Petititon reflects  recognition that the ONLY way to bring our
democratic traditions into the corporate election process, is to end the
rubber stamp dictatorships that result from the current system of
electing directors.

I hope that you will be forward-looking and demonstrate true character
in helping us to break down virtual governing monopolies in corporate
America.

Sincerely,

Michael Bressler
Fullerton, CA.
