I fully support the propose rule change that states the Citadel cannot be the first to receive orders and that orders must go to a public auction where everyone, including pension funds has an equal opportunity to fill an order. Best execution is important in trade execution for individual investors who may not understand the complexities involved in choosing how to execute a trade. This proposed rule will provide a more detailed and comprehensive standard for broker dealers to follow, resulting in consistently robust best execution practices. This rule is a necessary step in protecting household investors and promoting fair and efficient markets by ensuring that household investors are receiving the best possible execution for their trades. Sincerely, Mark Perilstein
