From: Wellinvest@aol.com Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 11:32 AM To: rulecomments@sec.gov Subject: SEC - NASD - Re: SR-NASD-2003-183 Comments on above subject rule to: SEC NASD Any rule requiring action by a broker dealer firm should also provide for notification by the NASD or the SEC, as appropriate, to the individual firm beginning 30 days before the required action. The E-mail system now can accommodate such notification and it is provided in certain situations. Why make a game of compliance. Let's try to make it as simple and as much of a joint effort as possible. Thank you for your consideration. Michael S. Zarin Wellfleet Investments LLC
