From: Ken Vanier [kvanier@brinet.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 10:24 AM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: S7-19-03 I fully support your current direction in permitting stockholders to propose board members-in fact, it does not go far enough. It's time to end the cronyism that currently takes place which results in boards & directors being represented and not the interests of the stockholders. G.K. Vanier 9 Catatoga Path Brevard, NC 28712
