Gentlemen:

It is my strong opinion that any person or firm that offers
comprehensive financial planning advice should be subject to the same
rules and regulations as I.  They should be registered under the
Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or similar state laws just as I.  They
should be required to provide disclosure and be subject to the same
fiduciary standards as I.  Unless there is uniformity of registration
and regulation in the financial planning industry, the public will
remain confused and skeptical about our services.  I strongly encourage
you to withdraw the proposed SEC Rule, File No. S7-25-99.

Thank you for your attention to this request.

Respectfully,
Roger L. Thusius, CFP
