MessageFrom: Kathleen Shay [hbshay@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 10:26 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: S7-06-04: Gentlemen: I'm in favor of the proposed two new rules and rule amendments under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are designed to enhance the information broker-dealers provide to their customers in connection with transactions in certain types of securities. The two new rules would require broker-dealers to provide their customers with targeted information, at the point of sale and in transaction confirmations, regarding the costs and conflicts of interest that arise from the distribution of mutual fund shares, unit investment trust interests (including insurance securities), and municipal fund securities used for education savings. I'm also in favor of the proposal conforming amendments to its general confirmation rule, as well as amendments to that rule to provide investors with additional information about call features of debt securities and preferred stock. Also the proposing amendments to Form N-1A, the registration form for mutual funds, to improve disclosure of sales loads and revenue sharing. Thank you Kathleen Shay 925-443-5766 76 Cameo Dr. Livermore, CA. 94550 hbshay@comcast.net
