Subject: in favor of requiring fund managers to reveal how proxy votes 
are determined

I am an individual investor in favor of requiring fund managers to disclose 
how they decide to vote on proxies related to portfolio securities they hold.  
I am aware as a small investor that I have little chance of influencing corporate 
behavior,  but I believe that large funds are in a position to do so.  They are 
the voice of the thousands of individual investors whose resources they manage. 
.
I do not think there should be any question that fund managers must reveal 
completely how they vote on proxies, and why.
