To Whom It May Concern:

I wanted to express my support for the proposal to allow investor nominees for 
boards of directors on the proxy ballot.  I believe this will make the Board of 
Directors more responsive to the shareholders, rather than a rubber stamp of 
Management.  A Board of Directors who looks to the shareholders as the owners 
with some power are less likely to allow the Management of companies to do such 
atrocities as Tyco, Hollinger, Worldcom, Enron, DHB Industries, Disney, and 
others.

Sincerely,

Robert Rector
