Date: 1/5/98 2:55 PM Subject: s7-25-97 Attention: Arthur Levitt Securities and Exchange Commission 450 5th Street, NW Washington, DC 20549 Mr. Levitt and to whom it may concern: I wish to state my opposition to the proposed rule that would not allow certain topics such as gender balance, child labor, diversity, etc. be discussed at open stockholder meetings. I have contacted my US Senators and US Representative to be aware of this undemocratic proposal and to take action should it be adopted. May I hear from you as to what action is taken and why? Thank you. Beverly A. Hannon 6049 180th Ave. Anamosa, IA 52205 cc: Sen. Tom Harkin, Sen. Chas. Grassley, Repr. Jim Leach
