I object to the SEC proposal to keep broker-dealers from being subject to the 
Advisers Act as a result of re-pricing their services.  These broker-dealers 
advertise that they offer "financial planning" and "advice" and thus should be 
subject to the Advisers Act.  They want to compete, hold themselves out as 
financial advisers and be viewed the same as broker-dealers who are subject to 
the Advisers Act, so they should be governed by the Advisers Act.
