Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

     
Thank you Chairman Levitt for bringing this issue to the policy forefront. As 
individual investors, we support your new proposal to eliminate the destructive 
and unfair practice of selective disclosure. I would go even further myself, 
stating a press release is required. However it's up to you and it's a big 
improvement. 
     
Please hold off the hundreds of paid lobbyest -- they are a well-funded bunch. 
Take heart you have the majority on your side, and it's good policy decision.
