Ladies/Gentlemen;                                                                                                                     
 
Regarding the proposed SEC rule, "certain broker-dealers deemed not to be 
investment adviser."

I have a small financial planning practice in southern california; for the 
benefit of my clients and the investment industry in general, I would like 
you to withdraw this proposed rule.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
