From: Vanslyke, Braddon M (MED) [Braddon.Vanslyke@med.ge.com] Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 1:43 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: S7-19-03 Hi As an individual stockholder, I'm writing this brief email to voice my support for the "Proposed Rule: Security Holder Director Nominations." I feel it's ridiculous that stockholders have virtually no say in who is on the board of directors for a company, and this proposal would be a good place to start. Thank you for allowing input on this matter. Sincerely Braddon Van Slyke Braddon Van Slyke Software Engineer GE Medical Systems Oximetry Business Unit 1315 W.
