Subject: Proposed Regulation - full disclosure

Dear Mr. Levitt,
     
I am writing in strong support of your recent efforts to adjust current 
disclosure practices, which unfairly restrict important financial 
information to a cozy group of insiders.
     
Actually, I a quite a fan in general of all your recent efforts to 
improve transparency and accountability. Congratulations on a job well 
done.
