From: Pat [patriciachen@earthlink.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 8:23 AM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: SEC Comment (s7-19-03) Dear SEC: The Brent Society, which is a NAIC Investment Club in Fredericksburg, VA, wishes to urge you to approve SEC Proposed Rule #34-48626. This rule may not go quite as far as we might like it to go, requiring as it does that special conditions must occur before shareholders can nominate directors, but it is certainly a step in the right direction. Sincerely, Patricia Chen, Presiding Partner on behalf of members: Margaret Beattie Natalie Davis Lana Digges Nancy Fowler Karen Johnson Jane Ellen Kravetz Kay Pollock Rebecca Reed Patricia Sabat Dianne Tracy
