EOpriv: New SEC Chairman

["Richard D. Foley" <rerailer@earthlink.net>]

Dear Friend

Please forgive my impertinence in writing your on this matter.

I am sure that you have also been concerned about recent events at the 
SEC.  I think I know the person who could best step in to this situation 
and bring the necessary unique blend of leadership qualities to restore 
the trust in this important agency.  He is Robert A. G. Monks.  I have 
had the honor of knowing him for over 15 years.  The question is not if 
he could do the job, but rather will he be considered for it.  Bob does 
not know about this letter, or my advocacy for him to head up the SEC.

Bob Monks held high appointed office in the Reagan Administration and 
help set many of the legal standards protecting, supporting and 
surrounding the retirement plans tens of millions of Americans rely 
upon.  Bob was among the visionaries that founded and help organize the 
Council of Institutional Investors.  He and Nell Minow founded 
Institutional Investor Services which has become the most respected 
guide in American business concerning shareholder voting issues.  Bob is 
the author and co-author of a number of books including, "Power and 
Accountability and The Emperor's Nightingale" which laid out the facts 
and warned of the dangerous course too many of our countries business 
were taking.  

Robert A.G. Monks is recognized world wide as the foremost thinker on 
the relationships between corporate governance, shareholder 
responsibility and investment.  He is a former US Congressman from 
Maine.  Bob has been a high ranking corporate insider as well as a 
champion of investor rights.

If you want to know more about this brilliant man you will find a wealth 
of information at the web site http://www.ragm.com/

There are few men of his stature, personal integrity, business and 
government experience.  His history as an investor advocate can not be 
matched.  I think he would make an outstanding Chairman of the SEC. 
 However, I have no way to get this suggestion to the powers that be, 
but to ask you to consider forwarding it to where you think it would 
best be relayed to the White House and President Bush.

Please let me know your response.

Respectfully,

Richard D. Foley
