From: Garris, Shirley H. (DC) [GarrisS@ballardspahr.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 9:31 AM To: 'rule-comments@sec.gov' Subject: INCREASE SHAREHOLDERS' ABILITY TO PICK CORPORATE DIRECTORS! "S7- 10-03 I am writing to urge you to amend SEC rules to increase shareholders' ability to pick corporate directors. I have a college degree and have holdings in the market. I am very concerned about the amount of corporate fraud which ultimately affects my best interests. Please amend the rules so that I, along with other shareholders, will have more say in the selection of corporate directors. Sincerely, Shirley H.
