Date: 03/24/2000 7:06 PM Subject: In favor of Proposed Regulation FD I would like to express my opinion as being in favor of the SEC's proposed new rules under file number S7-31-99. I strongly suport the idea of levelling the playing field for individual investors by ensuring that material information is provided to all investors at the same time. Furthermore, I find the objections of the SIA to be disingenous and insulting. New rules are needed. This unfair situation has cheated the public, and enriched a very small number of beneficiaries too long. Much appreciation for the efforts of the Securites and Exchange Commission, and Chairman Arthur Levitt. I applaud the chairman's proposal to open up the dissemination of news from corporations. Selective disclosure of material facts must be stopped. Selective disclosure has enabled professional institutions to profit at the expense of the investing public. Please make investing fair for all. Demand full disclosure from companies. Enact Regulation FD. Sincerely, Michael J. Song 2345 Park Ave. Des Moines, IA 50321
