Date: 12/16/1999 7:01 PM Subject: Proposed Regulation FD Dear Sirs: I applaud your efforts to assure Full Disclosure to all investors and not just selective information to a chosen few. With on-line investing growing every day, more and more individuals are making their own investment decisions, basing those decisions on available sources of information. When that information is not accurate or timely or is controlled by special interests, it is to the detriment of the market as a whole. The time has come for every investor to participate equally in the opportunities of the marketplace. I strongly encourage adoption of this rule. Sincerely, William E. Bailey 413 Meadowbrook Dr. Danville, KY 40422
