The custodian of five major public pension funds in New York City will
formally request next month that Google take steps to counteract internet
censorship in foreign countries with authoritarian government such as
China, Egypt and Iran, according to Google's proxy statement for its annual
meeting of stockholders on May 10.

The New York City Comptroller will submit the proposal. The comptroller
acts as investment advisor for the five city public pension funds, which
include the retirement plans for city employees, teachers, NYPD, NYFD and
board of education employees. Together, the funds own 486,617 shares of
Google's Class A stock.
