Date: 12/17/1999 8:01 AM Subject: Comments to Proposed Regulation FD Dear Sir or Madam, I hope that you decide to make your proposed regulations permanent. Wall Street notwithstanding, I believe that these rules will be a major inpetus to mainitaining a healthy and successful market. Leveling the playing field for the small investor will attract even more investment money towards stocks. It will also force the larger institutions to provide real value through their advise and analyses instead of being an information broker. Bravo on your regulations and here's hoping that you stay the course. Rob Adams
