Dear sir/madam:

Please amend NASD rule 3360 to require NASD broker dealers to maintain a record of total short positions in all customer and proprietary firm accounts in all publicly traded equity positions as well as report this information to the NASD for public dissemination of the short positions by security.

This action is needed to prevent fraudulent acts, expose market manipulation, promote fair principles of trade and protect investors

Sincerely,

Richard J. Reuss
