S7-06-04:From: Kaminski, Dennis S. [dkaminski@mutualservice.com] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 11:58 AM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: S7-06-04: Dear Mr. Katz: Mutual Service Corporation is a Broker/Dealer located in West Palm Beach Florida that services over 1,700 Registered Representatives, the majority of which are also dual registered as Registered Investment Advisors. MSC is licensed in all 50 states and has been in business since 1969. MSC is a subsidiary of Pacific Select Distributors (PSD) which is owned by Pacific Life Insurance located in Newport Beach California. PSD also owns four other broker/dealers throughout the country. We are very interested in responding to the above-captioned proposal, however we believe there are many complex issues contained in the proposal that will require broker/dealers to give serious thought and reflection to adequately respond to it. We therefore request the Commission extend the comment period at least 180 days beyond the original comment period to give the industry ample time for analysis and thorough investigation. Respectfully, Dennis Kaminski Executive Vice President/CAO Mutual Service Corporation West Palm Beach, Fl
