Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

Mr. Levitt, I applaud your proposal for open and fair disclosure of material 
information by public companies.  It is a disgrace that our trusted public 
companies still selectively release their information; I believe with the 
obvious intention to have the favored source of the information give a nice 
spin to the data or risk losing access to more advance information in the 
future.
     
Even an otherwise very admirable company as Coca-Cola regularly engages in 
selective releasing of material information.  They do not allow wide 
contemporaneous access to their analysts' conference calls.
     
As an individual investor, attempting to save for my family's retirement 
years, I appreciate your efforts.  I hope any lobbying by Wall Street 
brokers or analysts does not derail this proposal.
     
thanks - Jack Greene
