Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

Chairman Levitt-
     
As an individual investor, I would like to express my dismay at the prospect of 
selective disclosure. It is my humble opinion that selective disclosure is a 
farce. I agree that the present system is not only bad for individual investors,
but it is bad for the markets as a whole. Our markets have always been based on 
the spirit of free disclosure. Free access to information is a principle which 
is tied to an open market. Failure to abolish selective disclosure effectively 
limits the operation of an open market and leaves a large percentage of the 
population out of our securities markets, or hampered in making personal finance
decisions.
     
Please keep Wall Street from being the first to learn about each and every 
decision made by corporate America. As individual shareholders, we deserve the 
right to get information at the same time as Wall Street. Please do everything 
in your power to abolish selective disclosure and push for full public 
disclosure as you ponder this regulation.
     
Thanks so much for your time and effort in regards to this matter.
     
Respectfully,
     
Steven Mintz
