TO: CLOSED-END INVESTMENT COMPANY COMMITTEE No. 27-97
RE: AUGUST 8TH MEETING WITH NYSE
______________________________________________________________________________
We will be meeting with Richard Grasso, Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange,
on August 8, 1997 to discuss the possibility of establishing a Closed-End Fund Advisory
Committee at the NYSE. Such a committee would be involved in considering and providing
advice with respect to issues particular to closed-end funds that are listed on the NYSE (e.g.,
NYSE voting procedures). In anticipation of that meeting, we are very interested in receiving
any suggestions that you may have with respect to issues that such a committee should
consider.
We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.
Paul Schott Stevens
Senior Vice President
and General Counsel
