Date: 12/18/1999 9:37 AM Subject: Proposed rules on selective disclosure As a private investor who does all of his own research on-line without the services of a broker, and executes trades through an on-line discount broker, I am STRONGLY IN FAVOR of the proposed rules that would require public disclosure of material corporate information. In particular, I feel that information should be required to be AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET. Thank you, Charles C. Ross
