From: Diane Haneklau [d_haneklau@financier.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 07, 2002 12:29 AM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Cc: duane.thompson@fpanet.org Subject: File# 57-25-99 Dear Securities Commissioner Pitt: Especially since the recent wirehouse scandals, I am against the proposed SEC rule to exempt certain Broker-dealer activity from the Investment Advisor Act of 1940. In a position such as yours, one is going to have some critics. Why give them the opportunity to say that you could have required more disclosure to prevent the next disaster on Wall Street? Respectfully yours, Diane Haneklau CFP (TM) Securities cleared through Cutter& CO, Inc. member NASD, MSRB, SIPC P.S. Please send me an e-mail and/or phone number in order to get more information about your SEC hot line program. Its recent coverage on FNN/CNN made it sound like a very positive step forward. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Get 4 DVDs for $.49 cents! plus shipping & processing.
