From: Jean Fullerton [jeanfullerton@attbi.com] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 3:12 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: File No. S7-25-99 I wish to STRONGLY OBJECT to the SEC's adoption of a rule that exempts broker dealers from appropriate investment advisory standards. It is very important that consumers have the best, most unbiased advice possible. Particularly with the future of social security at risk, the decline of the guaranteed pension, and the volatility of the stock market, consumers need good advice to be able to plan for their financial future. I would think that the SEC, given recent scandals, would bend over backwards to ensure the objectivity and integrity of those areas of the marketplace that they oversee. Regards, Jean Fullerton
