       Information on the Mechanics of Cumulative Voting, page 25

   1.                                                   Please revise this
section (i) to make it more concise by reducing the considerable
                                                        repetition that
currently exists, and (ii) to expand the disclosure to address as clearly as
                                                        possible how cumulative
voting will work in various voting scenarios. To take
                                                        one example, it is
unclear how cumulative voting would apply, or not apply, in the event a
                                                        shareholder casts one
or more votes for a Company nominee on Driver's proxy card and
                                                        does not provide
instructions as to how the shareholder may wish to cumulate votes. To
                                                        take another example,
it is unclear how the disclosure on cumulative voting, which
                                                        appears to give broad
discretion to Driver in certain circumstances, is to be interpreted
                                                        alongside the
potentially conflicting disclosure on undervoting (i.e., "IF YOU MARK
                                                        FEWER THAN THREE    FOR
   BOXES WITH RESPECT TO THE ELECTION OF
                                                        DIRECTORS, THIS PROXY
CARD, WHEN DULY EXECUTED, WILL BE VOTED
                                                        ONLY    FOR    THOSE
NOMINEES YOU HAVE SO MARKED.") In general, the
 J. Abbott R. Cooper

Page 2
         disclosure appears to focus on a shareholder that selects the "FOR ALL
EXCEPT
         DRIVER NOMINEE(S) WRITTEN BELOW" box, and not on a shareholder that
votes on
         director nominees using the individual boxes that appear next to those
individual
         nominees.
General

2.       We note the response to prior comments 2 and 5, as well as new
disclosure regarding
         litigation concerning Driver's nominations. If Driver in fact intends
to distribute its
         definitive proxy statement before the litigation related to the
validity of its nominees has
         been settled in Driver's favor, please include disclosure in the proxy
statement advising
         shareholders of the risk of their votes not being honored if they vote
using Driver's proxy
         card. In addition, to the extent that a risk remains that Driver's
nominations will
         ultimately be adjudged invalid, please disclose how Driver will treat
proxies received
         (including those containing votes for the registrant   s nominees) if
its nominations are in
         fact adjudged invalid.
3.       We note the response to prior comment 4. While we see disclosure that
is responsive to
         Rule 14a-5(e)(1) and (2), we do not see clear disclosure with respect
to 14a-5(e)(3), or any
         disclosure with respect to 14a-5(e)(4). Please provide such
disclosure, or advise.
4.       Rule 14a-19(f) provides that the proxy card "may provide a means for
the security holder
         to grant authority to vote for the nominees of the registrant set
forth, as a group, and a
         means for the security holder to grant authority to vote for the
nominees of any other
         soliciting person set forth, as a group, provided that there is a
similar means for the
         security holder to withhold authority to vote for such groups of
nominees..."
         (emphasis added). Please revise the proxy card accordingly.

        We remind you that the filing persons are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of
their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.

         Please direct any questions to David Plattner at 202-551-8094.
