3. SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL CAMPAIGN UPDATE

The company-paid voting advice proposal has been submitted to
nine firms so far -- see http://www.corpmon.com

We expect most target companies to send legal arguments to
the SEC soon, trying to enable management to omit the
proposal from the proxy material mailed to shareowners in
spring 2000. We will send counterarguments, and the SEC will
decide. Stay tuned.
