From: Charles Sandmel [csandmel44@attbi.com] Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 11:38 AM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: File # S7-10-03 Please add my voice to the comments in support of greater shareholder access to the proxy and the election of corporate directors. Put simply, my clients expect to have the affirmative opportunity to exert meaningful control of the companies they own. This propsoed rule will enable their efforts. Thank you.
