Date: 1/5/98 3:15 PM Subject: s7-25-97 Arthur Levitt, SEC Dear Sir: I am strongly opposed to the so called "stock holder gag rule": Rule S7-25-97. Freedom of information, asking questions about how a company operates is the only way to keep corporations honest. Please allow freedom of information to continue to be the Right Way. Thank you.
