Gentlemen,

I was very dissapointed to learn today that your Commission has delayed the
enforcement of the above captioned rule to stop illegal "Naked Shorting". It is
my understanding that no action will be taken to stop this problem until late
March. The reasoning for this delay was to comply with the wishes of those
Entities that make up Wall Street. This action, without a doubt, clearly reveals
who controls and enforces the U.S. markets.


WIth the above in mind, wouldn't you think that it is very hypocritical to
arrest and prosecute the likes of Martha Stewart and those of Enron, when your
Commission  continues to sit back and let the "known" wrong doing of "Naked
Short Selling" continue to fleece investor's of the American markets with each
passing day?  It's like allowing a known bank robber to rob fifty banks before
going ahead and making the arrest.  Perhaps this simple analogy will help you
get the picture.

God help us all!

Sincerely,

Charles Rice
Atlanta, Texas
