Dear Rule Comments, 

The US Securities and Exchange Commission investigative and enforcement actions are essential to maintaining the integrity of our economic system. 

Whistleblowers play a critically important role in this process. 

It's a dangerous sign that things have gone wrong within the SEC for it to limit and weaken its whistleblower program. 

Please take strong and immediate action to protect the integrity of our economic system by opposing these proposed changes in the SEC whistleblower program. Specifically Proposed revisions to Exchange Act Rule 21F-9(e) and 21F-6. 

Thank you, 

Sincerely, 
John Young
