Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

As a small individual investor I would like to voice support of proposed 
legislation which would stop the terrible practice of "selective disclosure" 
by companies to Wall Street annalysts and institutional investors.  Not only 
is this practice merely "not fair",  it seriously treatens the credebility 
of the open market system by which equities are traded. If I am a partial 
owner of a company, I should be entitled to as great an understanding of 
that company's worth as any other share holder, let alone some institution 
which is merely debating an investment in my company.  I hope that as 
servents of this democratic country, the SEC will make all efforts to ban 
all forms of "selective disclosure" in the future and level the playing 
feild for all.
     
Thank you
