Jun 20, 2018 Securities and Exchange Commission To the and Exchange Commission, This is "Wall Street versus Main Street" Having elements of the financial services industry square off against consumer advocates overshadows the great work most fiduciary advisors do on behalf of their clients. The decisions to gut the fiduciary rule were not only a step backwards for the industry, but an attack against the biggest benefit for America's 75 million hard-working retirement savers, A strong, enforceable fiduciary rule would ensure disclosure and transparency between financial professionals and consumers. When everything is out in the open, people have the capability to make the most rational, well-informed decisions. I'm counting on you to make a stronger rule that closes the loophole. Americans who've worked hard to save for retirement deserve peace of mind about their financial security. Sincerely, Mr. Lawrence O'Neill
