From: David Johnson [djohnson70@triad.rr.com] Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 6:57 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: Comments on Proposed Rule Change - File S7-19-03 Dear Sirs: Your proposal is a step in the right direction but doesn't go far enough. Shareholders need to have the ability to more easily effect changes in the directorship of the companies they own. The current kinds of abuses, outrageous salaries, security fraud and the like, will continue until the current system is significantly changed. Thank you for your attention. David L. Johnson Greensboro, NC
