Subject: Offer & Sale of Securities to Canadian Tax-Deferred Retirement
Savings Accounts":


I am writing today to voice my support for the proposed SEC rule change
regarding the "Offer and Sale of Securities to Canadian Tax-Deferred
Retirement Savings Accounts":

17 CFR Parts 230, 240 and 270
Release Nos. 33-7656, 34-41189, IC-23745; File No. S7-10-99
International Series Release No. 1188
RIN 3235-AH32

I reside in the U.S. but still have a Registered Retirement Savings Plan
(RRSP) in Canada. Because I reside in the U.S, I will not be able to
purchase mutual funds within my RRSP account.

This restriction prevents me from optimizing my retirement portfolio
because it severely limits my reinvestment
options. My only option is to reinvest in non-mutual fund vehicles
(GICs, CD, savings).

What is the status of this proposed rule change? I urge the SEC to adopt
this change as soon as possible. This is MY retirement.

Sincerely,

Paul Gloor,
2820 Catherine Drive,
