Dear Mr. Katz: 

On behalf of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial 
Organizations (the "AFL-CIO"), I am writing to petition the Securities 
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to adopt comprehensive new 
rules under Section 14 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 to 
permit shareholder-nominated director candidates to appear in the corporate 
proxy statement and proxy card. 

Sincerely,
John Hayes
