Date: 03/22/2000 4:14 PM Subject: comments to proposed regulation FD Dear Sir or Madam, I would like to make my opinion known on the proposed regulation that requires companies to disclose information to the entire public, as opposed to selective disclosure. I am all for it. As a private investor I am frequently seeing moves in the market with no information. That information usually comes a few days later. When the stock euphoria ends there will be several people, like me, who will not be able to sucessfully invest in a more difficult market. Leveling the playing field, which this regulation would take great strides in doing, would help. I commend you on having the courage to propose such a rule. Now please follow through and make it the law. Robert B. Adams, PE
