Subject: SEC Proposed Rules Date: 12/6/97 5:17 PM As an investor with over 275 thousand dollars invested in the stock market I find it appalling that you are even considering muting the voices of shareholders. Corporations have too much control and not enough oversight as it is now. I urge you to expand the shareholder's right to be heard not give more power to corporations. Sincerely, James A.
