Date: 06/29/2000 7:43 AM Subject: File S7-09-00 I am writing to say that I support the efforts being made to make mutual fund companies report after-tax returns. This information is essential for investors to fully understand the implications involved in owning particular mutual funds. The current system for reporting mutual fund returns is misleading as they do not account for taxes, if the fund is not in a tax-sheltered account. Thank You, Brandon A. Wright
