Series VI. U.S. Security and Exchanges Commission (SEC) Files, 1972-2007, bulk 1990-2004

The SEC Files contain records related to ICCR's interaction with the SEC on both SEC policy issues and ICCR's own proxy resolutions.

The files include records related to ICCR's advocacy on SEC policies such as corporate disclosure, proxy rules, shareholder rights and resolutions, and vacancies on the SEC. These records include campaign materials, clippings, correspondence, legal materials, memos, questionnaires, and reports.

The ICCR also worked with the SEC on issues related to proxy resolutions filed by ICCR's member organizations. These files include records on proxy resolutions, including chronological files with lists and copies of resolutions, as well as responses and information on legal cases.

Copies of the texts of shareholder resolutions filed each year by ICCR's faith-based investors are also published in the Proxy Resolutions Book, which can be found in Publications (Series VII).

The files are arranged in two ways. The first set of files conists of general files that are filed chronologically. The second set of files were originally filed together in groups that are roughly chronological, and the current arrangement follows that filing method.
