Dear Mr. Leavitt
     
I am writing to you to ask you not to persue the implementation of the 
rules described by the above mentioned file.  It is my belief that these 
rules will effectively freeze all but the largest investors out of the 
policy-making process of most corporations and will also make it more 
difficult for concerned investors from addressing environmental, and human 
rights issues when they do not involve a large portion of the 
corporation's business.   Because large corporations wield enourmous 
power, it is imperitive, in my opinon, that all stockholders have the 
maximum ability to oversee their activities and comment upon them.
     
Respectfully,
     
William A. Freeto
