Date: 1/5/98 12:41 PM Subject: s7-25-97 I am writing to express my opposition to the securities gag rule that is about to be debated. As a decade long Board Member of Women on the Job, a Long Island based advocacy group for equity in the workplace that has close to 2000 member, I feel that denying access to important information about company culture is abhorrent. We all pick stocks based on management and profits. Why should the management aspect of the company be shrouded? Thank you for your consideration.
