TWO PROPOSALS:
SEC orders vote on
Nader's GM request

--)

By The Associated Press
The Security and Exchange
Commission (SEC) yesterday noti-
fied General Motors Corp. that
only two of nine proposals sub-
mitted by Ralph Nader's 'project
for "corporate responsibility" have
to be included in matters on which
GM stockholders will be asked to
vote in May.
GM originally had rejected all
nine proposals as unsuitable for
inclusion in a pre-meeting proxy
statement to stockholders but said
it would go along with the two
approved by the SEC, "although
the SEC ruling is contrary to the
legal opinions of our general coun-
cil and outside council."
The two proposals on which
stockholders will vote are:
-To expand the board of di-
rector by- three members "to en-
able representatives of the public
to sit on the board"; and
-To establish a "General
Motors shareholders committee for
corporate responsibility."
GM said the SEC provided, how-
ver, the amounts as determined by
the board of directors and that in-
formation given it be restricted by
the board to areas which the board
does not deem priviledged for busi-
ness or competitive reasons.
While declining to place seven
other proposals in its proxy state-
ment, GM said "we will listen and
give factual answers to the ques-
tions raised at our meeting. It is
our hope that representatives of
the project also will listen."
"Anyone who nas attended aI
GM stockholder's meeting will at-
test that there is full and frank
discussion of all matters relating
to the corporation which are of

interest to the stockholders wheth-
er or not they are included in the
proxy statement.
Nader announced Feb. 7 he
would seek "consumer control" of
GM through votes of its 1.5 mil-
lion stockholders.
Nader said the project on cor-
porate responsibility headed by an
associate, Geoffery Cowan, had
purchased 12, of GM's estimated
285 million shares, to obtain stock-
holder's voting rights and the
right to p r o p o s e corporate
changes.
Among other proposals was one
to "limit the business purchases of
the corporation to those purposes
which are not detremental to pub-
lic health, safety and welfare."
Nader's original proposal for a
"committee of corporate .respon-
sibility" would have given it ac-
cess to all of GM's files and em-
powered, it to recommend new
priorities for the corporation. to
pursue, in light of "its impact on
workers, the environment, trans-
portation safety, the efficiency and
public welfare."
In announcing his campaign to
expand the board of directors
Naderdsaid nominees of his group
would be Prof. Rene Du Bos, a
biologist on President Nixon's en-
vironment advisory committee;
Betty Furness, White House as-
sistant for consumers affairs un-
der former President Lyndon
Johnson; and the Rev. Channing
Phillips, president of Washington
D.C.'s city housing and developing
corporation.
GM insisted that most of Nader's
proposals came under the peroga-
tive of management and were not
proper subjects for stockholders'
decisions.
