Jonathan Katz, Secretary
Securities and Exchange Commission
     
Mr. Katz:
     
As a concerned shareholder, I am dismayed by the SEC's new proposed rules 
(S7-25-97). These rules erode one of the important ways we, as Americans, can 
democratically participate in corporations, and give meaning to the name 
shareholder.
     
Shareholders have a compelling financial interest in a broad range of issues 
with the companies they own.  I was proud to take part in a shareholder 
resolution for a company whose shares I have owned for the past 17 years, and 
for the first time, felt like I was speaking up for making the company 
stronger.
     
Please stop these discriminatory rules from going forward. 
     
     
Sincerely,
     
Christopher Mogil
