Subject: Proposed regulation FD

I understand there is a proposal to require companies to disclose any 
information that they provide to institutional investors to the public 
simultaneously.  This proposed regulation would be a logical extension of 
the "insider trading" regulations.  While it may have been less practical a 
hundred years ago, full disclosure is becoming decreasingly burdensome. 
This is a regulation whose time has come, and I hope you enact it.
     
        Thanks,
