Katz, Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission 450 N. W. Fifth St. Washington, D.C. 20549 Dear Mr. Katz: We are in favor of the new investment company guidelines for mutual fund companies and the sale of fund shares which as been proposed by the SEC. We are especially interested in having the costs of buying fund shares expressed in dollars and as a percentage of the amount invested. Thank you for working on this matter. We hope that consumers will be protected in the future from the unfortunate events that have occurred recently. Sincerely, Joan and Allen Carrier 1040 County Road C-2 West Roseville, Minnesota 55113
