Officials at SEC:
     
I'm writing in opposition to the elimination of the elimination of the 
Financial Data Schedules (FDS).  I am a user of spredgar software and this 
would seriously affect my ability to generate financial ratios.
     
Please reconsider the elimination of this information.
     
thanks,
Randall S. Fairchild, MBA
