FOR INVESTORS ONLY - ARTICLE
HAVE YOU EXERCISED YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE?
If Americans learned anything from last fall's presidential election, it's that
every vote counts. That truth is no less important during this summer's proxy
vote for USAA mutual fund shareholders.
If you were a USAA mutual fund shareholder as of May 25, 2001 (the proxy record
date), you should have received a packet of proxy voting materials early in
June. The proxy packet contained--
* a proxy statement outlining a number of important proposals,
* a message from the Chairman and a summary of the proposals, and
* a proxy card for each USAA mutual fund account you own.
The proxy statement includes several proposals related to your fund(s), and
asks you to indicate your approval or disapproval of each. "We need your
approval of these proposals so that your association will be able to facilitate
your investment needs in the future with the quality you expect," said Bob
Davis, USAA CEO and Chairman of the USAA Mutual Fund Boards. Therefore, the
board of directors recommends you vote FOR all of the proposals.
If you have already voted, we thank you. If you put it aside for a while,
please review your proxy materials and vote your shares before the rapidly
approaching shareholder meeting and final vote count on July 20, 2001. Please
vote as soon as possible to help us reduce the need for additional, costly
mailings and phone calls.
