As a financial planning professional I believe it would do a disservice 
to the public if certain advisory firms were exempt from being required 
to disclosure their compensation and any conflicts of interest.  For this 
reason I support the withdrawal of the recently proposed rule “Certain 
Broker-Dealers Deemed Not To Be Investment Advisers”.
