Dear Chair Gensler, As an investor, corporate transparency is very important to me. I appreciate that you are taking steps to strengthen disclosure rules so that I will know if a company is actually working to align with the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change. Without disclosures, we will have no way of knowing if our investments and retirement will be jeopardized by companies who are continuing to pollute. We do not want to be investing in big polluters or companies that are not working to improve our climate and we cannot know if you don't require them to be transparent. Please listen to regular people like me and not just to corporations. Please strengthen and do not water down your transparency requirements regarding climate change. I am looking forward to seeing strong greenhouse gas disclosures in your final ruling later this year. Best Regards, Joy Reich
