Proposed Rule OpinionFrom: Jeff Minor [JMinor@HNTB.com] Sent: Monday, August 05, 2002 1:05 PM To: 'rule-comments@sec.gov' Subject: Proposed Rule Opinion I think it is an excellent idea and the rule should be approved. I also think the rule should extend to those companies that may not be a publicly traded company but are an ESOP. These companies have an obligation to their 'investors' as well.
