Subject: Petition for Rulemaking (SEC File No. 4-461)

Please be advised that I strongly support the Petition for Rulemaking 
(SEC File No. 4-461) submitted by the Committee of Concerned Shareholders 
and James McRitchie. I have no doubt that the current leadership of the 
SEC will do everything in its power to prevent this from coming to pass. 
In the meantime, I expect the capital markets to continue to burn while 
you all feign concern for shareholders welfare. The Information Age will 
see to it that the truth regarding the gross inequities of corporate 
governance will be dispensed to an ever-widening circle of citizens and 
sooner or later the public will wake up to what has been happening and then 
there will be hell to pay at election time and I rather suspect the Republicans 
will be the big losers. But by then Chairman Pitt and his cohorts will have 
become wealthy enough to build a spaceship to carry them away to another planet 
where they can begin anew their misguided activities.
