Date: 12/20/1999 5:33 PM Subject: Proposed Regulation FD Dear Mr. Levitt: As an individual investor, I have often felt the markets were manipulated by an elite selection of analysts which have been privy to advance information before it reaches the general public. Since the individual investor is increasingly responsible to fund their own retirement via 401K's, IRA'S, SEP'S, etc., and with interest rates so low that most fixed income investments do not even keep up with inflation after taxes, it is imperative that the playing field be leveled to enable the individual investor equal opportunities. Given my thoughts as stated above, I strongly urge passing Regulation FD. Thank you, Susan Warner
