From: RABKS4BE@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 8:24 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: box-sr-bse-2002-15 Dear Mr. Katz, As an option trader I believe that the BOX option exchange should be allowed to proceed. These changes will help the public to be able to compete on all levels of investing at very good pricing. This is the last barrier to the great progress you have allowed in the stock market. I hope your decision is for it. Thanks, Richard Berry 09/03/2003
