  Dear Sirs:
     
  As  a user of the EDGAR system and the Financial Data Schedule, I would
like to voice a strong objection to the proposed elimination of the FDS.  We 
are in the information age and this services aids in allowing technology to 
assist professionals, academics and investors.
     
  Please reconsider the effects of this eliminating this service.
     
  Thank you
     
     
  Todd Humphrey
