Subject: Petition for Rulemaking (SEC File No. 4-461)

I am in favor of the petition put forward by the Committe fo 
Condernted Shareholders regarding better access to the ballot 
for independent directors.
 
I believe that the SEC has abandoned its obligations to 
shareholders by keeping Rule 14a-8(i) in effect.
