Subject: Proposed Fair Disclosure Rules
 
I am frankly aghast that the current 'selective disclosure' commonly 
practiced today is not prosecuted as willful disregard of existing laws 
requiring prompt and full disclosure of material information.
     
Anything you do to improve this deplorable situation is applauded by 
independent investors such as myself.  I have 6+ years of college and 25+ 
years in responsible charge in consulting and project management.   I can 
read and understand most anything written with the intent of clear 
disclosure.  I do not need anyone 'interpreting' or filtering my 
information. That public corporations presently hold 'selective disclosure' 
phone conferences and meetings with a few firms and individuals is totally 
against the fundamental principles of the U.S. form of government and 
commerce. We must do all we can to INCREASE the transparency and fairness of 
information  disclosure to ensure those great principles continue to lead 
the world and instill investor confidence in U.S. listed and traded 
securities.
     
YOUR JOB is to ensure fair and open disclosure TO ALL PARTIES AT THE SAME 
TIME.
     
Please do you job well!
