Subject: sec filings Date: 4/24/99 6:44 PM Dear Sirs and Madams (of the overworked and underappreciated SEC, I use FreeEdgar services to research the companies that I own and really like the ability to access information quickly a lot, since I am an individual stockholder. While I think the proposed rules for allowing PDF formats may sound nice, it will have the unfortunate unintended consequence of delaying access to information that I need and want. Please do not require this format change. Optional use is fine, but requiring is will not help the individual investor. Thank you, Candis King 550 Wilshire Ave. Glen Ellyn, IL 60137-4944 630-665-4099 candis@enteract.com
