Dear Secretary Katz,

Not too long ago, I watched in horror as much of my retirement
was lost due to inadequate regulation on the part of the SCC.
That's now in the past, and I applaud your recent efforts to
bring about more corporate accountability. However, you need to
do more.

Please approve the proposed proxy access rule as soon as
possible. Delay will only serve o weaken this important
regulation. 

I have to say that I'm not crazy about the rule. I think it
should provide an even more open-ended democratic process. That
said, I think you need to implement it as is so as to establish
the bare minimum of protection for the American people.

Thank you.




Sincerely,

Tim Hill
