Mr Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary
Securities and Exchange Commission
     
I am responding with my support of the proposed rule concerning the 
exemption of certain  Canadian tax-deferred retirement savings accounts 
(aka  Registered Retirement Savings Plans or RRSP).  
     
I am a Canadian Citizen living in the US since 1987 and will be retiring 
within the next year.   I & my wife both established RRSP's when they 
were first offered in Canada, and have directed those investments 
regularly.   My accounts are all frozen now and in some cases, I want to 
buy in markets that have reached a low and cannot buy.   
     
We now have US IRA accounts as well, and the possibilty exists that we 
could live in Canada again in the future for a period of time, likely as 
volunteers.   I say this to reinforce the comments by Mr. Douglas M. 
Hyndman, Chair of the Canadian Securites Administration, concerning 
reciprocity as proposed by CSA in their National Instrument 35-101 to 
give relief also to those citizens only temporarily in the other country.
     
     
I would also support the CSA view that restricting solicitation to those 
"authorized agents" with a pre-existing  relationship with Participants 
is relevant .   I am not interested in receiving competing information 
without my consent.   So that an "authorized agent" should have a signed 
document authorizing he/she to send all relevant information requested by 
the Participant.
     
I fully support your proposal, and I hope it will be finalized soon.
