Subject: File #S7-18-96 Date: 4/17/97 6:27 PM Thank you for considering a "profile" revision of the current requirements for prospecutuses. Although I have a masters degree and am far from stupid, I not only can't understand most of the information contained in a typical prospectus, but I can't find the information I'm seeking. I am in favor of the proposed alternative and would encourage the SEC to adopt this new regulation. Sincerely, Stephanie Frogge
