To Whom It May Concern - 

In regards to this issue, it's really a no-brainer.
Mutual fund investors should have access to how
various company issues are voted via proxy process
involving companies held in the mutual funds in which
we participate.  If we owned the same company shares
directly, we would know how we vote.  The reason we
buy into mutual funds is to reduce risk via
diversification, and to reduce investing cost
(theoretically).  I fail to understand any hesitancy
in passing this.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Kathy Hassey
