I’m writing in support of a strong Dodd-Frank rule 953(b).

As an investor and a consumer I want to know information about pay...including any gross disparities that may exist.  Indeed, I feel we all have the *right* to know such information. 

And it's pretty darned silly for corporations to argue that "the math is too hard".  You know as well as I do that they already have this data at their fingertips. 

I know you're under a lot of pressure by business interests to weaken or abandon the rule. IGNORE THEM!  You have a duty to protect investors and the American public...so do your duty!!

Thank you for considering my comment,
