Re: "Proposed Regulation FD"
     
It is my understanding that "Regulation FD" (Fair Disclosure) proposes 
that:
     
     (1) whenever an issuer intentionally discloses material 
     information, it does so through public
     disclosure, not through selective disclosure; and
     
     (2) whenever an issuer learns that it has made a non-intentional 
     material selective disclosure, the
     issuer make prompt public disclosure of that information.
     
I can only say that this proposal is common sense in it's highest form. 
Properly enforced, it can only serve to increase the public's respect 
of, confidence in, and therefore participation in securities 
investment.
