From: Laurence Davis [richusaf2@msn.com] Sent: Monday, December 22, 2003 12:21 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: Proposed Rule Making (s7-19-03) I strongly urge that stringent measures be adopted to protect investors. Board members and company officials should be held to high standards with major penalities for those who break the rules. Laurence R Davis 17822 Cardiff Circle Huntington Beach, CA 92649
