Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

I whole heartedly concur in SEC's proposal  to limit disclosure of 
information not generally available to the investing public to a select 
group of individuals, be it brokers, financial or stock analysts.  I have 
recently read John B Stewart's book, "Den of Thieves" regarding the insider 
trading of the 1970s and 1980's.  SEC was courageous and deserves  a great 
deal of credit for its part in bringing down those who were involved.  I 
have had brokers try to sell me securities on the basis that they were privy 
to conference calls with company representatives and that they had 
information not available to the average individual investor. I support your 
efforts.  Many loopholes need to be closed in this area and the SEC must 
continue to be ever vigilant to watch for insider trading violations and 
unauthorized disclosure.  Newcomers come on the scene who will attempt to 
circumvent these rules.    Harvey Speck, individual investor.
