Our family is writing in support of the SEC's recently proposed 
rules regarding proxy voting guidelines and vote disclosure by 
mutual funds and investment advisors, File Nos. S7-36-02 and 
S7-38-02.  We, as individual investors, need meaningful disclosure 
as to proxy voting by mutual funds and investment advisors both 
in helping each of us make better investing decisions and to 
foster executive accountability and social responsibility on 
the part of corporations.

Thank you.
