Comments*	Dear Mr.Ferguson: I was disappointed to learn that TIAA-CREF is investing in construction sweatshops where workers are being severely shortchanged and exploited by unscrupulous developers and contractors. I also learned that TIAA-CREF is investing billions of dollars in big tobacco companies and more than a billion dollars in The Coca-Cola Company even though TIAA-CREF divested tens of millions of dollars of Coca-Cola stock from its Social Choice Account because Coke does not meet the criteria of being a socially-responsible company. Is this true? How can TIAA-CREF advertise itself as "investing for the greater good" when it makes such investments? How does TIAA-CREF justify advertising one thing while acting in the opposite way? This is the height of hypocrisy. Please let me know if you plan to correct these matters and what you plan to do.
