From: RBRTTRFF@aol.com Sent: Sunday, December 01, 2002 12:54 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: File No. S7-38-02 Because many mutual funds oppose important sections of the rule, and will try very hard to influence the final version, I suggest that the commission be very aware of proposals by these mutual funds to weaken the rule to the detriment of investors. A weakened rule will only add to the general cynical mistrust of our government and this administration by the individual investor.
