To whom it may concern,

I am writing in support of the Financial Planning Association.  As such, I am requesting that you
withdraw the proposed rule, "Certain Broker-Dealers Deemend Not to be Investment Advisors",
because I believe in uniform standards of conduct that would align our (planners') interests with
our clients.  

Thank you,

Michael Wang
