I remind you that we are just about out of time to submit a petition that
will go in the next stock holder's meeting.  I do not know what should be
said in it.

Past year's petitions have been related to not shafting past employee
pension
deals, and various standard business disclosure of director info.  It does
not seem to take much in the way of stock to launch one of these things.

All of the stock holders get copies of these things with the ballots for who
should be IBM directors.

Al,

Is there any consensus about actually doing this?

IMO this is the kind of thing that could help you, or it could hurt you.
I'd like to know what others think.  I tend to think that, if handled
delicately, there _might_ be something to gain from it.

As for myself, I wouldn't even try to attempt something this big unless we
could enlist the support of someone like Janet Krueger (who I don't know) or
someone like her **that has prior experience doing something like this**.

Let me know if this is going to be pursued.
