and Exchange Commission will hold the following meetings during the 
week of June 21, 2004:

An Open Meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 23, 2004 at 9:30 
a.m. in Room 1C30; and a Closed Meeting will be held on Thursday, 
June 24, 2004 at 2 p.m.

    Commissioners, Counsel to the Commissioners, the Secretary to the 
Commission, and recording secretaries will attend the Closed Meeting. 
Certain staff members who have an interest in the matters may also be 
present.
    The General Counsel of the Commission, or his designee, has 
certified that, in his opinion, one or more of the exemptions set forth 
in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(3), (5), (7), (9)(B), and (10) and 17 CFR 
200.402(a)(3), (5), (7), 9(ii) and (10), permit consideration of the 
scheduled matters at the Closed Meeting.
    Commissioner Goldschmid, as duty officer, voted to consider the 
items listed for the closed meeting in closed session.
    The subject matter for the Open Meeting scheduled for Wednesday 
June 23, 2004 will be:

    1. The Commission will consider whether to adopt amendments to 
short sale regulation under new Regulation SHO, and revisions to 
Rule 105 of Regulation M (short selling in connection with a public 
offering), both under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
    For further information please contact Kevin Campion, Lillian 
Hagen, or Alexandra Albright at (202) 942-0772.

Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and to Forms 
N-1A, N-2, and N-3 under the Securities Act of 1933 and the 
Investment Company Act of 1940. The amendments would require a 
registered management investment company to provide disclosure in 
its reports to shareholders regarding the basis for the board of 
directors' approval of an investment advisory contract. They would 
also enhance existing disclosure requirements in proxy statements

retain copies of written materials that the directors consider when 
approving investment advisory contracts.
    For further information, please contact Catherine E. Marshall at
