To Whom it may Concern: I am a US citizen and securities investor. I am writing to express my disapproval of Options Clearing Corporation’s proposed rule change regarding margin requirements during high volatility. OCC’s record of past failures to successfully self-regulate its membership will not be improved upon under this proposal. The inability of the public to review and comment specifically on the proposal indicates a likely continuation of substantially inflated risk portfolios and a lack of tough oversight of their membership. I support the SEC in rejection of this proposed rule change. Sincerely, Robert Curtis-Johnson
