Subject: PROPOSED RULE 34-42099 

	I would like to oppose the proposed rule to exempt certain broker-dealers
from the Investment Act of 1940. Consumers and the general public are better
served by professionals who are providing financial planning advise acting
in a fiduciary capacity and who disclose any conflicts of interest.
Please withdraw the proposed rule.

Kind Regards,
Pat Cain CFP
