Date: 1/5/98 1:47 PM Subject: S7-25-97 Arthur Levitt Securities and Exchange Commission 450 5th Street, NW Washington, DC 20549 Dear Sir: We wish to express our opposition to the proposed rule S7-25-97 which would prohibit certain items from being discussed at stockholders' meetings. This is totally unfair to shareholders who feel strongly about some issues. It seems a rule designed to stifle their input and allow management a free hand. Shareholders deserve the right to participate in company policy. As stockholders, we urge you to reject this proposal. George and Janet Brazill 205 N. Murray Blvd., #97 Colorado Springs, CO 80916
