From: ILENESE@aol.com Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 4:55 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: File # S7-06-04 In Proposed Regulations VI of the above referenced File, it appears that there has been a collusion whereby the SEC and the Mutual Fund Industry have come forth with regulations which will still result in an over charge on the Sales Charges billed to investors on the purchase of mutual funds. Attachment I - Disclosure Statement This disclosure statement does not disclose but rather conceals from the investor what the true costs of the transaction is. No actual price is disclosed in this statement, but rather an equivalent price of 4 1/8. The real price being much higher as only hinted at in Footnote 71 An analysis of Footnotes 154 and 155 likewise shows that the ultimate result of these regulations will still result in the denial of the total number of shares due to an investor, and the enrichment of the mutual fund industry by use of the method of calculating "sales charges". One could equate this to charging a sales charge on a sales charge, or perhaps a "compounding sales charge". The examples provided in these footnotes do not reveal the truth. It is believed that the people responsible for the writing of these regulations, having vast experience and expertise in not only basic and advanced mathematics, Security Laws and the Mutual Fund industry are well aware of this "compounding sales charge" problem, but for whatever reason, have deemed that it shall remain the same. This denies the protection to the investing public, whether that be a child, as an individual owning a mere 10 shares of a mutual fund, or a pension fund which might own thousands of shares. The result is the same. The enrichment of the mutual fund industry, and the depletion of the investing public's assets. All without full disclosure as to the method and result of this computation. The SEC should do better, since its Mission is to ensure a fair and open marketplace. These proposed regulations should not be approved as written. Eileen Evans N635 State Road 35 La Crosse, WI 54601
