From: mark hallee [markh222@charter.net] Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 9:35 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: S7-19-03 Dear SEC, I am a stock holder in several Fortune 500 firms and a mutual fund investor for retirement. I support proposed reforms to corporate governance and accounting, and more disclosure for mutual funds. In particular, stock holders should be able to nominate directors to corporate boards. Boards should not be totally composed of nominees from the management or other insiders. Thank you, Mark Hallee 965 Hunter Lane Woodland, CA 95776 (530) 662-9881 markh222@charter.net
