Subject: File No. S7-24-99 Author: George E Davis Date: 11/25/99 8:30 AM Mr. Katz, I would like to comment on short sales of OTC BB stocks. I find the present rules extremely unfair allowing shorting of these stocks to occur via off shore accounts while not allowing this practice by we who live in the U.S.without access to a foreign brokerage. I feel ALL should play by the same rules. Suspending this unfair advantage would go a long way to level the playing field. Thank you, G.E.Davis
