Re: S7-25-97 ("stockholder gag rule")
     
Dear Mr. Levitt:
     
I am deeply opposed to the adoption of this rule, which would prevent 
shareholders from learning about, debating and voting upon social issues that 
are integral to corporate governance.  I respectfully urge the Commission to 
reject it.
     
Sincerely yours,
